The Lansing snow plane
by Roger Tiffin
In 1969 it was known as the Faireyplane. Abdul Smith had done a lot of
work refurbishing it during the previous winter. It was great fun on a
smooth surface, which didn't occur very often. Sastrugi were a nightmare,
and it steered a bit like a hovercraft - i.e. nothing seemed to happen for a
LONG time. I never drove it, but was a very scared passenger a few times.
