had it explained to him that a small piece of lead placed between their ears, was an effective way of causing them to overbalance and come down unassisted. A local farm labourer who spends most of his day digging fence post holes offered to dig one near the base of the tree. This way we can see if the keepers can get a hole in 1..........

nose around for a few extra laps after the others had packed up and gone home. Turb's was overheard saying that while many had resorted to vaping, he was secretly "hooked" and had spent many hours researching Dr Goggle to find some relief from his snifter obsession. ................

Hi mate, long time no hear. Hope you are keeping well. Are you still flying? Good to see that on May 9th 2020 you were last on the forums. Just wondered how you were going and life was treating you. My flying of late has only been drones and models, but the magnetic forces did get me to The Oaks a week ago. Would have liked to go up for a quick flight but all aircraft were booked by younger people. Rgds Alan

believe it's the smell of burnt Castrol R that really get's the results, especially with older more experienced chicks blood pumping. Palm oil only reminds them of some sleaze they met on a South Pacific holiday who offered an all over rub in exchange few a few Winnie Blue's (smokes). After all, all CASA staff are encouraged to support social distancing even from anyone who supports their cause, otherwise you might have to use two hands to count them. So the thought of any palm oil remedy's are out of the question.

The Tyro made it to Sydney the other day and wrote "Gary ❤ Doris" for all to see, and all you could hear was WTF is Doris?

We all have our own theories early in the piece as to the cause which is only natural. The main thing is this is hopefully survivable by both POB. In the near future hopefully, the young pilot may be able to post here about his unfortunate experience, so others may learn something from it. It is nothing for him to be ashamed of, as i'm sure he did the best within his power and knowledge at the time under the circumstances he was faced with, even if the result didn't have the outcome that he had hoped for. Get back in the air again young fellah, asap. -
A lot don't realise that cruise control is not good in very wet conditions, in fact it can be downright dangerous if you aquaplane.

Mangalore incident today (19/2/2020)

16. If slow enough and low enough.................................Jump. -
Seems to be the main area for Pionair's BAe146 200 QT conversions and maintenance for largely night freight ops which I believe they contract to Virgin. I saw 7 there a few days ago.

"Vud, Vud, Vud" did you expect to hear Bex?

Not only the south west corner, and it's so sad to see. The green areas of the airport seem to be shrinking so fast and being replaced by buildings for commercial use. One can't help but wonder, how if common sense came into the equation, they can justify profit over safety of aviation safety. I can foresee another situation in the pipeline sooner or later, similar to the incident at Melbourne's Essenden, where the pilot of a King Air met his demise partly due to an industrial complex being built in an area which could have been used in an emergency landing situation. New structures are popping up everywhere at Bankstown, which may be well and good for investors pockets until a situation arises where an aircraft deviates from a straight line along a runway.

I'm better informed now. Many thanks.
-
Thanks SP, but i'm still not much better off. I Googled it, but could not see what it was a conversion from. It's sure gonna need a big resto job if it's ever going to be operational again. Probably accruing a decent amount just being parked there. Looking forward to seeing the Catalina VH CAT operational again, if i'm around that long.

Big clue for some. Seen at Bankstown today.

Latest offering from Pilot Shop.

Congratulations! Look forward to seeing a few photos of the end result of all your hard work.

My son lent me a Merc 230SLK Compressor the other day. As usual it had bugger all fuel left in it. I thought i'd just put in about $30 bucks worth of fuel in it, and it did seem to be a very quick delivery. It obviously couldn't handle the high delivery rate and vented a decent size patch of fuel on the ground which needed washing away. Presumeably that's the reason why.

Don't forget the tank in the trailer. HaHa! Was short of money on home trip so lifted right foot on every downhill slope. That's what I got anyway, partly trying to prove something to No1 son who drives an imported Nissan drift car, and would have probably needed a few tyre changes over that distance, and arrived home on the rims. Despite a bit of a rallying past, he says I drive like Miss Daisey now. He's possibly right, but I still have all my points.

Well there you go, depends on the size of your right foot, plus i'm sure a regular bit of Armor all helps.
-
Well Done!

I tend to read Nine News online and find it frustrating how many spelling mistakes/typo's you get every single day. Not only is the journalism poor in many cases, but proof-reading if it still exists, seems non-existent,

Well that was an interesting read learning what not to buy. I think i'll stick with my 12 yr old Falcon Wagon on dedicated LPG that's got 378,000 kms on the clock . A couple of months back it got me from Melbourne back to Sydney 868 kms on a tank full of cheap gas. It's been totally reliable for years up until this afternoon when is started to run like a dog and the power brakes gave me a bit of a surprise. A fractured vacuum hose will be replaced in the morning costing probably 20 bucks or so to fix the problem. I did a new 2 pack paint job on it last year to freshen it up, and under the bonnet everything gleams like brand new. I'm sure it will continue to give great service till this old codger pushes the daisies out of the ground. Hopefully that'll be a while yet.
