Here is an interesting video on ditching survival rates, from Avweb. Take it how you want, but there would seem to be worse options than ditching [in some cases] and if landing in the water is your best option, then it is highly survivable.
Enjoy watching, it's only 5 minutes long.
Here is an interesting aircraft and one I would love to have a go in one day [no chance, of course!].
It's an English Electric Wren, 99 years old [in 2022] and has a massive 3hp engine! Fun times!
Saturday was a chance to take a couple of people for a flight to the Marlborough Sounds. The weather was nice - a bit breezy, but nice enough.
Yet again 😂 I have managed to not take any photos of my own, but in a one hour flight, we managed to get across to the Marlborough Sounds, taking a look from Long Island down to Picton then across to Port Gore, before returning to Wellington.
