Running a turbine on water??

Hey guys, a few of you guys may remember a member on here known as "dogpilot". Well that was James Wallace of whom I have kept in touch with. James is over here at the moment visiting his new born grandson and I was lucky enough to meet him and with another drifter, take he and his son for a fly.

After the flight we got talking and the storys of his experiences where both incredible and endless! I asked if I could film one of his storys for a face book page I run and I thought I would share it with you guys to as I thought you may be interested.

Other storys he told me included engines blowing up on test flights and nearly bailing out over the Atlantic, and being chased down a runway on a relief flight for the UN! this one however he hoped others may learn something from!
