  1. Thanks for that. I thought they were Y's and/or 7's but 4 is a possibility. KY lead me to 162 RAF Sqn that operated many different types.
  2. Found this at a garage sale recently. A common WW2 piece used in many aircraft. If anyone can decipher the engraving that would be great! Possibly squadron/airframe specific. REF No. 6A/1538. The 10.44 on the face may be date related.
  3. Is there an agent for GRT in au?
  4. Back in the 80's I got slapped on the face for saying that to a young lass...😜
  5. Wife-NO Ex wife........depends on how many beers I've had :)
  6. I recently purchased some fully documented 6061T6 angle and sheet from CALM ALUMINIUM, Sydney area. Not cheap but stock at hand and promptly dispatched
  7. Excellent link BrendAn and Boneyard vid !
  8. Engine never been assembled or run. Came with Sonex kit. Current price ex USA $11,300 USD. Sensenich Prop. W54JV5L-44G. Black finish. Never been spun. In original box. Currently $1648 USD ex USA Located Adelaide. Will separate. Contact via website.
  9. There is no builders manual AFAIK. You get dozens of paper plans and a virtual wing and a prayer.
  10. What model please?
  11. The seat covers give a clue. Very Airbusish. So French, 1960's feel with updated avionics which leads to the Dassault Mercure 100...?
  12. ⁹ Very close.....
  13. One track is very warm.....
  14. Name the plane!
  15. Better option than hitting the airframe with planet earth at great speed...
  16. I am privileged to have attended one of her talks to a sporting club. Marija is an amazing lady who has overcome many challenges to get where she is today. Highly intelligent, a highly qualified engineer and test pilot. A wonderful immigrant story. Such qualifications don't come easily. Her troops admire and greatly respect her as a Commanding Officer of a P3 Squadron (at the time of writing). There are many people who have met her who would be very disappointed if this discussion were to head down the wrong path.
  17. The fact one would consider exposing one's self to such scrutiny reflects poorly on us all. No wonder the insurance premiums are so high. The responsible majority are subsidising the lack of measured forethought of others.
  18. You may find that the insurance company will beg to differ on intentionally operating outside of the specifications.
  19. 55-3342 should be a clue Baldrick.
  20. Unfortunately not the first time the Froggies have ruined a new toy... https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20071115-0
  21. I've been to FL430 many times and M1.5 on one occasion. We share many diverse experiences, all different but none better than another!
  22. If you look at 25:02, you will get a brief glimpse of the PFD. 104KIAS/70,000' and M0.707. The air is indeed thin! The best of TOP GEAR.
