Well, people, I’m staying at a friend’s house, which is a hangar house, and guess what just flew overhead? Here’s the relevant NOTAM for a clue: C1572/10LJR CENTRAL QLD MIL F111 JET ACFT OPR ON THE FLW RTEGLADSTONE (DES) / MONTO 040027 / MONTO 126020 / GAYNDAH 211013 / WONDAI 254027 / KINGAROY 193016 / OAKEY 041033 / AMBERLEYSFC TO 5000FT AGLFROM 06 071000 TO 06 071200 There were 2 of them. :biggrin:

I thought that too until I saw a post on facebook from Laura (member here) that the pigs were flying at the airshow in Williamtown in September and doing a dump and burn. Not confirmed though.

When I was in NZ in April, I was at a well known Sth Island museum. One of the people in the know strongly suggested that a pig will be going there. They have a Harrier there plus some other rare birds, so it wouldn't surprise me if this was true. Another nice coup for them.

 

btw they have a lovely big new hanger there with lots of NICE frames in there. Vampires, Tigers, Auster etc.

I read somewhere that they are to be officially retired on 3rd December .. The show at Willy will probably be the last time they display in public ... so get to Willy in September ..
