Dash 7
Just a little note on the aircraft that brought us to Tioman ( which is the Bali Hi of the musical South Pacific). The Dash 7 was built between 1975 and 1988 so it is a least 20 years old. It seems to be made of cast iron …its got that look about it. As you take off you notice smoke coming from the air vents above your head. It’s not smoke, its condensation. It must be drawing in the cooler air r from outside the plane which then makes the water laden air in the cabin condense air. It is a bit disconcerting. Eventually they must pressurise the cabin because it stops … then as we come into land it starts again.
The airfield on Tioman is titchy so it needs a plane that can land and take off from nothing.
A reminder to myself. Diffusion by waves and my theory about the separation of light bulbs and shoes by wave power.

Reminds me of a Harrison Ford film, where the plane crash lands in a storm and he’s stranded on a remote island with blond lady. They hate each other at first, then fall in love. Ahhh…
Did they have alcohol on said plane?
Hope your return journey goes smoothly. xxx
