Ed Herring Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hi Steve I am almost certain that Tony Peters was the designer / builder at Goolwa SA. He now lives in Sale, Victoria. I am sure he wouldn't mind if you phoned him. Tony is a great guy! ( 03 5143 2482 ) Regards Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David C Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Steve , There is a Bunyip at The Oaks nr Camden . Its in a bit of a delapidated state though sadly as it lives outside and has fallen prey to the weather . If you are interested in a picture I can take one and email it off to you .

Guest ozzie Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hi Dave, Yes a photo would be great. Who owns this machine, has it been abandoned.? I wish i had a bigger shed as i would like to start a museum for "ultralights". I've tracked down several examples of early types and it would be great to get them before there scrapped. i send a lot of information i come across to Scott Perkins who has a site called Vintage Ultralight and Lightplane Asssociation you will find all sorts of aircraft there and seperate aussiesection. http://vula.org/ email is on profile thanks ozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanabigaplane Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 So that's a Bunyip?! :confused: I guess then it is really just another Winton Cricket clone. The remains at The Oaks was last owned by a young guy named Carl Holmesby (I think), got married, kids, etc,etc, haven't seen him for a couple of years. Arthur. I'm visiting Wanabigaplane while going to the Instructor seminar. :big_grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David C Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Steve , I will be at The Oaks this weekend , weather permitting , and I will take a pic of the Bunyip and email it to you . It is " very weathered " and neglected , and sad to see it crumbling away . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ozzie Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Is anything major missing on this? If it is worth it i'll contact the owner and retrieve it, if it is all there. steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
