....paint tins" said Bryon who had just come in from the Broken Hill desert area where he had been copying the Pro Hart technique of unconventional painting by throwing Jabs at the ground.

Bryon was an old surfing champion who had given up the wild life of Dandenong to become a hippy and had interwoven himself into the history of northern NSW where Bryon Bay had been named after him.

Living at Yea-Man Ranch enjoying the much slower pace of life farming his own crops, like most of the rest of the commune-ity:chill out:

Most evenings were spent sitting around the campfire :velvt: singing "Puff the Magic Dragon", down near the Billy Bong:loopy:

Hope she realises Rob, that Rach is thoroughly spoilt, but no do doubt deseves to be :heart::heart::heart:

Rgds to John, just make sure the bugger does his fare share of bit of stirring of the icing mix.

Planey

So you're not going flying next weekend?

We all understand, but thanks for keeping us posted about your repairs.

Now get back to the sewing machine and icing nozels. This coming week will just fly by before your happy event.

Don't forget to post some pics of your re-born Gazelle in the air again.

You are both worthy of some congratulations, as well as the about to be, newlyweds.

Kind regards

Planey

Just caught up with this post.

So sorry to hear about the mishap, but like many, are just so happy that you are here to tell your unfortunate story.

Take care, and keep us posted mate.

There are are so many here that care, and I hope that makes you feel a bit more comfortable under the circumstances.

Geez Planey - you really got the ball rollin'regards

Amazing product WD40, not only good for freeing-up the old memory box, it's supposed to be good for Arthur Rightus on the joints too, but has done stuff all for me so far:gerg:, Think I need to change my name.

I'm sure there be plenty more out there, that need to say thanks to someone for something thats appreciated.

It just seemed a good idea to give them the opportunity.

Thanks Ian for the bikky's at Narromine last year that BigPete missed, geeze they were good! and I have to confess that I picked up two a time .

PS Sent you a PM Pete hope you got it.

hey Alan,it was a pleasure to meet with your and your princess and to give you a fly in our pride and joy.

and a big thanks to all those who have supported and cheered me on during my flying training.

 

Rach

That was our pleasure. we'd always want to cheer on a realistic, raving, realising-a dream, rootin-tootin, go-getter, and thats you for sure.

Congratulations on a fantastic achievement Rach.

You did it girl, and left a lot of guys behind in your wake. you should feel justly proud of your achievement.

What do you want an innocent young girl for? Nev

You had better get the good gen from him[/b].

Anyway William, good luck my friend, I certainly hope you'll be as lucky as me, and find one that loves aeroplanes almost as much as I do.

William.F de Riecroft that sounds pretty exotic name, I was just wondering where it came from? (not just your parents), but the background. Is that Puerto Rican?

Kind Regards

Planey

Welcome jdog, look forward too hearing more from you.

Ask all you want, they're all very friendly and helpfull here.

Welcome William,

Being a Pom from wayback, there'd be a lot of guys on here that would'nt be familiar with the term "Old Geezer". However, i've a confession to make. I fall in that catagory, just don't tell my swetheart (sweet innocent thing)

Fixing up loose rivets in the 707 sometimes takes more than one person, as a few on here would realise. Nudge, Nudge!

Who the hell, ever said he was actually sleeping?

It occurred to me tonight, that there must be many here, that would like the opportunity to say a quick "thank you" to someone.

Over the years, many a kindness has been shown, help given, and many an instance where we would like to express the appreciation to others on these forums.

To start, I would like to say "thank you" for the pleasure i've derived from the early NES'rs" BigPete, Captain, Ahlocks,Turbo, Jeff, Slari-hotplate, Ultralights, Redair, Pale X and many, many more, some of whom we don't hear of much these days.

I'd like a dollar for all the laughs i've had here, and what i've learned.

Ultralights and Flightygirl gave my Princess an I a ride in their new toy at The Oaks recently,which was so very much appreciated, and there must be just so many out there, that would like say thanks to someone.

Don't hold back, here's your opportunity to say thanks, which you should have probably done before---------------------but we won't hold that against you.

I reckon this will be a long running post.

"When I were a lad .....

me mother wouldsend me down to t'corner shop wi' just ashillin',

and I'd come back wi' five poundso' potatoes,

two loaves o'bread, three pints o' milk,

a turkey, a poundo' cheese,

a packet o' tea, an' 'alfa dozen eggs.

Yer can't do that now.Too many bloody security cameras."

but by the news today, lets hope he trys to land on the right side of the fence.

From my point of view i'm happy that I made this post. It's getting a reaction which is what I wanted. I certainly hope that someone from the various energy authorities reads it too.

If they want to charge $600 for a pair of balls, they've got competition, from my local schoolkids who can supply a pair of smelly sneakers, dayglow painted, if necessary for $20 bucks installed----online.

C'mon, someone from the rip-u-off energy authority's. Someones got to read this post who can reply. We don't mind if your're speaking out of turn, providing we can get some action which might save live's.

Not even mentioning "global warming caused by tyre friction when aircraft touch -down" and hot-air exuded from stuffed-up landings, causing yet more secondary pollution.

Hope Peter Garrett does'nt see this post or we're in real trouble, and there'll no doubt be another survey costing us all squillions.

One of the main reasons I asked, is that i've seen an early Jabiru LSA sitting looking like it had'nt been moved forever and a day. I'll have to check out the rego again.

As far as who should pay it probably comes down to who was there first & whether we are talking private or public airstrips. Certainly at all public strips the Authority should do it unquestionably, however on private strips it is really a different matter. The power authority will have easements over the land thay traverse, a "technical ownership". I have 5 power line easements over my property which excludes me from doing certain things within 10 metres of either side of them. I have loosely discussed fitting balls with them on the 66KV line over my strip & I would be looking in the vicinity of $10K or more. So it's not happening. If anyone wants to land here they get a lecture (from me) on do's & don'ts regardless of what experience level they have. It is not something to take lightly.

Maybe you should get all visitors to toss a pair out on finals.

Just tell them not to get too close

Hmmm. & then give all those airport operators out there the ability to send us bills for landing - no thanks

Ya gotta stop talking about me, behind my back, but i'll still give it

Don't worry Tubbs, planey responded.

He probably picked that word up after a nite on the town, but could'nt spell it quite right:angry:
