  1. You sound to me like Garry who used to serve me at the Shell servo in Baulko to earn a bit of extra money while going for your commercial? If so, this is Eric's dad Alan. Thought you were in Tamworth.
  2. Well done Marty! looking great.
  3. Interesting! Didn't know that.Thanks for posting it.
  4. Well done Bruce, so happy for you mate. Bet I know what you'll be dreaming about tonight. "Hang on honey, I've gotta land this thing, wait until tomorrow" By the way, your bird looks great, so you must be proud of all the effort you put into building it, and so you should. Kind Regards Planey
  5. I personally, don't like reading about this sort of crap. There's always the potential that things can go other than what the flight was originally planned. Hope they find our who was responsible, and throw the book at them.
  6. Good stuff Tim, well done mate! The video made me feel a bit pi**ed off because I so wanted to buy your T83. Kind Rgds. Planey.
  7. Great to see Brumby branching out into the world market after years of hard work. I used to regularly drive pass the Goair hangar at Bankstown to see the GT-1 Trainer progressing, prior to their move to Cowra..
  8. Years ago while driving in the bush, I stopped my van as my passenger and I were convinced we'd seen a UFO in the night sky. We even stopped and took photographs hoping to make a fortune from the press. As it turned out, we got got further down the road and found the local scout group had a bonfire and sheets of newspaper in flames were being carried into the night sky with the heat from the fire. Sometimes things are not always what they seem, and "bugger", we never got a cent for the photo's.
  9. That must have been special for you
  10. That always helps:victory:
  11. Beautiful city and some great flying. Enjoy. Airshow Budapest 2014 Highlights - YouTube
  12. Soon to be known as "The Unlucky Country" the way things are going with manufacturing.
  13. Lucky bugger! Glad you enjoyed it:thumb up:
  14. That's great mate, keep at it. I'm as keen to see the product of your efforts as i'm sure you are. Kind Rgds Planey
  15. Welcome to our forums bindiver. Look forward to hearing more from you. Not so keen on hearing stories about flashing lights your the rear-view mirror, so we can wait.
  16. So while you're posting, How's the 701 progressing, or is a retirement project mate? I have a few of them too. Maybe you need a "blue with the misses" to get you out in the shed? Only joking!
  17. "Stone the crows", that's not a comment, more of a recommendation, which some may not understand.
  18. Toodle-Pip? Gordon Bennet! I ain't eard that term in a long while. "Fair Ginkum", that's now got you a bit confussed Marty!
  19. Unfortunately, the majority of people these days want to buy everything on the cheap, and in a way, you can't really blame them for that. Quality, is a bit like buying oats. If you want good clean quality oats? then you have to expect to pay a fair price for them. However, if you are content to buy oats that have already passed through the horse, they normally come at a much cheaper price.
  20. Whatever! I'm very grateful to be able to access this wonderful site ( Thanks Ian) so would thousands of others if they stop and think hard, or stick that cork back in the bottle. Mind you, I must admit i've made a good few post's here when I've forgotten the last bit
  21. Sleep tight you Narrominer's .Your bed might not be what your used too if you're sleeping a bit rough, but I'm envious. So wish I could be there. Lucky Bast**rds. don't forget to post some pic's to pi*s me off some more. Stay say and have a good trip home. Rgds Planey
  22. Outside their factory Nth West of London they used to have a sign (and probably still do) stating how many lives had been saved worldwide. It's a mind-blowing number, probably up around the 10,000 mark by now, so it's sad to see litigation after such an inspiring run of successes.
  23. Thursday sounds like a better day for a flying Kite:whistling: Welcome to the forums. You bought back memories of numerous flights I made with British Eagle in Britannia's via Perpignan when holidaying in Spain, until Gerona Airport opened.. Climbing out of Perpignan in the Pyrenees Mountainson a hot day, the mountain tops seemed a bit too close for comfort. One aircraft had the seats facing the rear of the aircraft, but that idea never really caught on. Enjoy the Foxbat and tell us all about it. Kind regards Planey
  24. Not sure,I think they were possibly stripped Bryon:whistling:
