Yes.
It didn't work.
Probably too much noise.

I thought that the "white stick" idea was originally suggested on 1st
April........................!

There's an approved (PFA) mod in this area (submitted by Dave Hunter, but
designed by someone else) that is supposed to overcome the sloppiness that
can develop in this area with time and funny landings.

I have recently exchanged fax messages with Ron van Leer, the South Africa agent
for Europa.
He tells me that 5 aircraft (types unspecified - apologies to those at the AGM
at Kemble, whom I told that they were Europa's) are flying from SA to Oshkosh
via west coast Africa, Europe, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, Oshkosh, and return
via the same route except that they will go down the east coast of Africa on
the way home. All of this, apparently, in 5 weeks.
Any further information on the progress of this pilgrimage will be gratefully received
on this the forum, I expect - even though there may be no Europa's in
this team.
