I found a more complete swing from 2009. I’d only just had her, and I doubt if she’d been swung before. Therefore, the compass was way out initially. It got better, eventually. By rights, I should have had the engine running and the tail jacked up, but I was alone on a lonely airfield, and if she’d have jumped her chocks, I’d have been in trouble. DaveP
