This was a time of many family break-ups after the Cook schools started after-hours adult classes and parents started to read what their children were saying about them.

 

It was also the short era of the Dingo, a tiny aircraft designed and built in Australia by a Doctor, and which today would fit nicely into the Recreational Aircraft category - an underpowered engine needing constant maintenance and flying vices that would make Mata Hari look a saint.

 

Not many people know about Dr Cook who came from Peak Hill in NSW. He would two the aircraft up Peak Hill, turn it around, put on his Operating Theatre suit and rubber gloves, and help the low-powered engine by taking off and flying down the hill in the boundary layer. There are old copies of the WreckFlyne forum of the  1890s, hand-written of course, with diagrammes and notations by the good Doctor, including the epic .......................

This newfound mining wealth turned Peak Hill into the outback equivalent of Peppermint Grove and this meant a lot to the Doc and his Dingo, which with typical medical black humor, he named Az ......

"Noone is going to knock off my design" said the Doc and these are robust machines that will last a lifetime, as evidenced by the fact that a sublicence has been issued to remove the wings and add a digger extension ............ and the Dingo mini-digger was born.

 

The Doc loved the design and his only reservation was that ......

 

The 1st of the non flying Dingos. As can be seen, the wing attachment holes have been bogged up and painted red.

. and this was seens as a brilliant solution because, since First Nations are the indigenous people from Canada they would be at arms length from any petty bickering in Australia, and soon four people were chosen, one Onodaga, one Mohawk, one Huron and one Coast Salesh.

At the first meeting the Mohawk suggested they appoint a Spokesperson to make the public statements, and they settled on an old Medicine man from Toronto, Onadago.

..... a large number of feathered headdresses were ordered, because these were deemed to be highly necessary whenever meetings of chiefs were held.

As there were now a vastly large number of Chiefs in the organisation, and a vastly lower number of Indians, it was deemed that no less than 5000 headdresses were required.

 

The order was placed and the headdresses supplied - which then led to more meetings over whose headdress had precedence over others headdresses.

They decided that another meeting had to be held, to thrash out the headdress precedence issue. Meantimes, there was a rumble from...........
