Even back in 1992 Zulu Yankee was showing her age, but in spite of the faded paint, worn carpets and ancient radio she flew well. She was the solo consolidation aeroplane that hammered the circuit for hours on end in the hands of clumsy and incompetent pilots like me. So long as you could get her to within a few feet of the runway and pointing in roughly the right direction ZY could get us both safely back on the ground. Now gone to the great scrap yard in the sky I have very fond memories of this little aeroplane.
