Aircraft to display at a School Spring Fair Toowoomba QLD

[Scottw]

G'day all seeking help with a couple of things,

 

I have been in full swing of organising a Spring Fair for the Charlton State School just 7 minutes west of Toowoomba QLD set for October 16 2010 and I am seeking expressions of interest from any folk who Fly or knows of anyone who may help -

 

1 - Gyro's in the Toowoomba region who might be able to place it on static display at the Spring fair to promote your aspect of aviation

 

2 - A Glider owner from Toowoomba who also maybe able to place their aircraft on static Display

 

3 - Any one in the Toowoomba region who is building an ultralight aircraft who maybe able to also bring it along to show off your handy work and promote this aspect of aviation

 

I would love to hear from any who are in the possible position to help in this regard

 

Regards

 

Scott

G'day DP

 

And many thanks for the words of support. As I am directly involved in the organising of the event I was going to make sure Aviation was involved. I am wanting to get some of he guys to promote their aspect of aviation, particularly to an audience that would more than likely have never been exposed to these aspects of aviation or indeed aviation in general!

 

I have the Queensland Vintage Aeroplane Group - Australian flying Museum guys coming with some stuff and a few museum items and to do a bit of promoting of the Amberely RAAF Museum as well and also the Spitfire restoration guys from Oakey are coming across with items of interest and for what its worth I am going to put a few Aviation photos on display as well so I reckon have a Gyro, Homebuilt Ultralight/LSA and Glider on display would be almost covering a number of bases

 

The P&C will be Raffling a 20 Minute flight in a Tiger Moth from our wonderful supporters Darling Downs Tiger Moths/Darling Downs Aero Club

 

Added to this there could be the possibiltity of a tiger Moth making an appearence a couple of times through the day, there could be a Chippmunk, Yak 52 or a Warbird verberating the air in the area too, who knows what the day may bring. But as I mentioned earlier I wanted to use the opportunity to expose aviatin to an audience that has never had the opportunity to see the different aspects of aviation. Who knows, one of these young people might just be bitten with the aviation bug and harness a keen interest in aviation, the future of aviation needs young people getting interested today!

 

Also The usual stuff at a School fair will be there as well. The day is getting closer with a lot left to do. So again if anyone can help in the regard of a Gyro, Sport/Ultralight and Glider for static display I would love to hear from you

 

Regards

G'day Scott, if you need help with anything on the day, I'm not sure what I'll be doing, but if I plan it a bit, might be able to fit in something.

 

I could fly a 95:10 aircraft in, or Drifter... but I suppose there wouldn't be any LA's about!

 

Anyway, I can always show kids things if you need someone.

G'day Tomo

 

and thanks for the generous offer. But it is a bit of pain not having an LA next to the school which means it has to be trailered in hence my request for Gyro or Trike or even any 95.10 that can be easily trailered. I did mention to the school principal about puting the idea of a runway in next years school Budget as there is plenty of room behind the school to put a 600m grass strip. But I'm afraid my idea was met with little enthusiasm, I though it was a good idea!

 

But watch this space, after this event (and after a couple of years) I have been thinking about something pretty special that I know would most likely work.

 

Cheers Scott
