  1. A lot of different subjects here all rolled into one thread; DPP actions where there MAY be action taken IF there is evidence which COULD result in convictions and fines, but nothing happening, a few statements of who was at fault which were personal opinions. A second legal system the adversarial in front of a judge discussed, mixed in with the first process, when there may not be a second process, RAA Ltd attacked for not telling everyone (as the board of management would in the case of RAA Inc.) when in a limited company your positions are shareholders, so you might be told at the AGM etc. and a lot of stirring going on based on the same original material. These things take time to roll out.
  2. What's happened to your old mate's school?
  3. .....plan to build a Thruster that actually looked like an aircraft rather than an open-air long drop dunny. They learned how to weld, and the group visits to Bunnings gave them knowledge of the difference between a bolt and a screw. Some picked this up quickly but it was obvious that others had their minds on different things. The first thing they bought was ........................
  4. Well it seems some on here know the secret.
  5. ..........major problems in the past where this "easy come/easy go" industry began to clog W roads with unroadworthy and unsafe trucks known as GBTs or Gold Bullion Trucks where dirt was shovelled in and the gold would be smelted on the spot. They were allowd to be registered as DG Trucks (Dangerous Goods) trucks the same as Fuel Tankers and had to carry the same placarding, including the owners name. One nororious GBT pulled over by the W Highway Patrol had a placard stolen from the Kalgoorlie strip reading "For a Good Time, phone Rosie on 0342 223 123." Here's another GBT stopped by Highway Patrol - quite an advanced vehicle for W, and an example for Queensland to follow to improve their .................
  6. Recreational flying is freedom, there are multiple landmarks all over the eastern states. What's wrong with leaving a flight at home and making phone calls?
  7. An alternative is to choose non airfield check and turn points. Throughout western NSW grain silos appear like clockwork, and so on, and you eliminate any half-asleep, careless or just plain wrong local aircraft.
  8. Victoria; the hidden gem; still sand eater and riverina rat free! Don't get the CHOP! Buy Turbine Machettes! only six left!
  9. You probably should have stopped the change to RAA Ltd. There may be plenty of difficulties getting inside RAA Ltd from the outside. A Special General Meeting (if allowed under the RAA Ltd Constitution) will be a different animal to an SGM under the Incorporated Association ACT Legislation, so I'd start looking at that aspect first. Also, in terms of dollars, what the Coroner/DPP do will be quite different to what a Public Liability Lawyer might do, so it would be smart to get some advice before rushing in.
  10. ....civil servant types with a high percentage "Diversity-centric" You meet them in the Casino "Sorry Sir; I said no more bets", on the road "Show me your licence, driver", in the upmarket restaurants "XXXX off!!!", on the water "YOU XXXX!!!"; Turbo always felt exhausted after a business trip to Perth even at the departure lounge; "Your flight's at gate 720, half a kilometer THAT way and it's leaving in four minutes!" It's always a pleasure t come back inot Tullamarine to be pampered, helped with your luggage and ......
  11. When the road across the Nullabor was dirt, there were news reports of families blockaging the road and bring cars to a stop under threat of spears, collecting their own "entry" tax. Years later a couplle of old tuck salesmen told the story of how they were delivering two new Atkinson Prime Movers to Perth bobtail. They were travelling flat out, line astern with the second one just ahead of the slipstream of dust when up ahead Morton steps out into the middle for the road with his spears ready for a big collect. The trucks didn't slow down and didn't move and the second driver said he heard the rattle of a spear on the fuel tank.
  12. ........they shake your hand, but never shout in a pub, or .......
  13. ....the toll is already the highest in the Western World because ...........
  14. .....we take him home in one of my James & James Mk IV Lo-rider; I've got 70 Kimberley bulls in the rear trailer and they smell worse. Might kick him around a bit but Marky can handle himself. "How do you know that",asked ...........................
  15. Nothing to do with an aviation forum; it was a direct response to the quote above it.
