icebob Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Hi All, Just to let you all know the RoyalAustralianNavy Fleet Air Arm is celebrating its 60th anniversary October 23rd to 26th, with a lot of different functions and with an air show at HMAS Albatross(Nowra) from 1000hrs 26th October. The museum will be open but at the moment I am unsure of the times. The new White Ensign Club will also be open at the museum. Motels and other accommodation are filling fast. Bob.
Ultralights Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 i think their is an airshow there planned for some time in early march also/
Mazda Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I knew about October but didn't know anything about March. Ultralights do you have any information? The website is very out of date!
icebob Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 Hi, the airshow is the 26th March at 1000hrs.
t83 Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Thanx Bob, I'll lock it in. Was on 724 and 805 Squadrons from 79 to 85. See you there. Mike
Ultralights Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 im working in the 805 shed now on the Sea King mod program.. the Sqn only has 30 staff now.
Mazda Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks Bob. 26 March is a Wednesday (after Easter) - is that right? I can't make it if it is during the week.
icebob Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 Hi Mazda, I was at 817 Squdron that time too, just come back from Nerimba where i did the short Mechs course after getting my LAME's at TAFE in 1976. Hi Ultralights, that brings back memories, did the original Seaking assembly when they were new(well to us "new"). At that time I had just finnished building a Volksplane1 it was hidden in the back of tool control at 805 in what used to be the old toilet block, hum maybe the right place for that type of aircraft, ha, ha. Bob
icebob Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 Hi Mazda, sorry i am having a seniors moment, yes the air show is not the 26th, i had that number on the brain, from my understanding it is the 29th the Saturday although speaking to one member of staff there at the museum he said the Saturday and another guy said it was the Sunday????. could one of you guys that work/live there in Nowra confirm for us please. Bob.
Guest airsick Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Who is going to this? I organised clearance to fly in the other day so weather permitting I will be heading over on Sunday morning (26th Oct).
Guest Flyer40 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I'm going. It's not far from our place so I'll be driving down.
motzartmerv Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Will be there with bells on.. taking the Gazelle in, so come and have a chat.. think weve got some sort of static display organised... cya there
Ultralights Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 i was hoping to get some time alone to fly down, but sadly all booked solid all weekend, so i will hear about it on monday sadly.
