Hi Brigitte

Good pencil drawing Neil, a proper aeroplane with propellers!
Woodie replied
This was the first prop job I’d flown in for ages but when I looked up Dash8 when I got home I realised that this Canadian a/c had been designed (and selected by BE) for flying in mountains. The pilot has more control over his engines (slow turning turboprops). Neil

I like the feel of this picture, nicely drawn. – Olive

Hi Olive
Now that I’ve seen a photo of my drawing I think I’ll try some soft pastel to smooth the pencil lines out a bit.
Cheers Neil

excellent drawing. I suppose it’s good to have a plane that flies around mountains! LOL
Woodie replied
Hi,
I was careful to say fly around mountains and not fly in mountains.LOL
Cheers Neil

You bring back to memory of my flying from here – in a very violent lightening storm. Nice study in pencil Woodie.
Woodie replied
Hi Brian
The last time we flew to Salzburg we had to fly round in a circle (well triangle) for an hour before it was OK to land because of the weather.
Cheers Neil

I want to accept this into the EEG not as an ekphrasis piece as such [although your artistic depiction of the aviation designer’s art is stunning … but to wish people who may be flying anywhere for the holidays a very safe flight! [Santa especially or the kids will never get over it!]
and for anyone travelling anywhere to have a very safe trip we want you to enjoy Christmas now & always!
Chookas my friend!
Woodie replied
Hi Alyssa,
Thanks for choosing this to illustrate Happy Traveling over the holiday period!!
Merry Xmas every one Neil

Love this image! Air Niugini uses these to fly around Papua New Guinea, a kinda mountainous country. I flew for a subsidiary of Air Niugini, Douglas Airways, which used to fly Britten Norman Islanders (and Trislanders) around the hills there. (I can just imagine you doing a treatment like this on those aircraft!)
Woodie replied
This Belverdere is the nearest to jungle flying.
Cheers Neil
Post some photos please
Cheers Neil

I’ve posted a few in my portfolio, Neil. Also, there’s a sequence of a landing on my website (www.twistedirony.com). Other than that, I haven’t posted any more here because all my photos (hundreds!) were shot on film through grimy, sun-crazed windscreens just over 20 years ago, and some are a bit blurred what with camera-shake and aircraft movement, not exactly RedBubble quality.
