Got a photo of Mako upside down in his 16 after a big
boot full of right rudder gust! (https://i.imgur.com/Hl2smYn.jpeg)

Yeah, that was a really strong gust of wind, wasn't it!?
We'll get some 30mph signs -and speed-traps- set up right away on the taxiways...

Thought we had agreed to say i had to serve to avoid a child running across the runway?!??

On closer examination of the crash site .... ahem .... :o

Ah yes, well, IIRC we put that down to Mako thinking it was an old MiG-21 that cools the radar with alcohol. Easy thing to do round here. :o
The fact that this 'coolant' often gets drunk before landing is down to a hard-SOP which clearly states you must land with limited fuel and flammables... :P
