    Thanks - will try them
  2. IanR
    This may seem like a silly question after 30 years of flying - but I always have problems finding pens that will write effectively on the GA style maintenance releases - any ideas ?
  3. IanR
    The light aircraft lane is a pretty straight forward route - well documented on the VTC

    First one I saw was in the James Bond film - but they blew it up !! I would like a standard one with the Franklin engine - but there are quite a number have been modified for heaps more horsepower

    I looked at the option of importing a standard Seabee - but as there are none currently in Australia decided against. Still may in the future !!

    Thanks for puting up the photos !! Awesome. And I should say Auster as well as I am buying one

    A Bristol Beaufighter would do just nicely ! (or most of the things picture in this thread so far !!)

    Thanks guys - just wanted to get a view on what people have at the moment - liability is by far the biggest part of the quotes I have got for insurance for the Auster !!

    A novice question re aircraft insurance - what is the standard level of liability cover in private aviation insurance ? $10M ?
  10. IanR
    That would be good - same era !! And yes - I will be getting it maintained by you guys !
  11. IanR
    Didn't even find out about that one
  12. IanR
    Pud - I will put up photos and details as soon as its sitting here. Has an interesting history including being shot up by a FW190 !!

    After flying other peoples aircraft for 30 years I have finally done it - bought a 1944 Auster MK V - looking forward to having it here in the next few weeks !

    Its when you try them you realise how much more fun they are !!

    We now use the yellow three point tiedowns - from memory called the Claw. As tension increases the pegs take on a great angle.

    Camden yesterday
  17. IanR
    Wow - that one will be worth a look when its released !
  18. IanR
    No - have not seen that one - years since I have been there.
  19. IanR
    Its the first model Autocar - I think they have 130hp - later ones had the more powerful one
  20. IanR
    Not as old as the bikes Nev - a 1955 Auster J5B as long as everything proceeds as planned !
  21. IanR
    I am in the process of buying - main reason is that I like old aircraft - makes no financial sense but neither do many other leisure pastimes !
  22. IanR
    There was one - and a Tiger Moth - not there now. There is another in pieces on the field but want something more operational ! (its not for sale anyway)
  23. IanR
    Tom - do you know someone with an aircraft at every airport worldwide ?
  24. IanR
    Flying Wild Alaska is my favourite - the Alaska Wingmen is almost documentary - not "flow" - but still good. Ice Pilots is fun too. I wonder when someone will produce a show on flying in PNG
  25. IanR
    Info sent - I have decided to wait for one that doesn't need the work
