Trojan I think....

 

Caboolture Air Show

 

I have the 3.1 megapixel original

 

 

 

[crazy diamond]

Not a Trojan. I'm not sure I'll be participating in this months, there were quite a few outstanding photographs last month (Mine excluded) I've become somewhat disillusioned as to what qualifies. BTW Munch a Trojan has Tricycle u/c and is not from what I remember a t/dragger.

 

 

[Guest munch]

Thanks Crazy,my knowledge of military a/c isn't huge so more than happy to find out what type she is.:) I'll tell you one thing tho it sounded bl**dy awesome ;)

Hi guys, this is a Grumman Avenger. There's currently two of them flying in Australia...have just returned from seeing them both perform at the Bundaberg airshow.

First Flight in Australia

 

These may not be the best quality pic's. But how often do you get the chance to capture the first flight of a new aircraft type in the country? Taken at Redcliffe on the 1st of August about 8.00am.

 

Aircraft is the Dova DV-1 Skylark.

 

Higher resoution pic's are available.

 

Cheers

IT LOOKED MUCH BETTER AT THE BUNDY AIRSHOW I WAS REALY IMPRESSED.

 

VERY SLEAK AIRCRAFT.

 

 

[crazy diamond]

Just out of curiosity will there be two winners this month due to the lack of one last month?

[hfrensch]

You are right Geoff, my mate asked me to accompany him to Reno (as we are both flying nuts) on the condition that he pays for the trip and I am willing to fly 1st class. Of course I accepted, and after Reno he flew our wives out to Las Vegas where we met them and had to contimue our holliday.

 

Cheers Helmut.
