Successful Fly-in at The Lily, WA

[poteroo]

SAAA chapter 13 organised fly-in to the Lily, on 14th June, saw 36 aircraft arrive. It was an eclectic mix of types, with aircraft from Jandakot, Serpentine, Bunbury, Busselton, Albany and Esperance. The usual majority of VANS RV's were there - with a very swish RV-10 an outstanding unit. As well, we had several each of RV6, 6A, 7, 7A, 8, and 9A. 'poteroo' was there in 'Kermie' the British Racing Green RV6. RAAus was well represented with 2 Sportstars, a Morgan Sierra, a J160, a FS-CT, and a Foxbat.

 

The BBQ lunch went off well - luckily there's good protection from our usual cold winds. Weather prevented several aircraft reaching there, and it also prompted a rapid departure mid afternoon. The availability of 2 strips has made the Lily a much safer proposition in windy weather - the norm here near the Stirling Ranges, (50nm NE of Albany). All in all - a very successful day. We can definitely recommend The Lily as a fly-in destination - Google for details. The Dutch Mill and the 'guestroom' DC3 are features worth seeing. Pleun and Hennie are the consummate hosts.
