  1. ....was forced to go back and fly that fateful mission that made television history around the word, won him a Medal of Honor and condemned him to touring schools and being asked questions for the rest of his life. It was at Great Falls, Montana Junior High that ......................
  2. I take it you didn't bother to take the relatively simple step of checking what the SP2 Zone includes or take any notice of the fact that someone can put in an Application for something Pilots might not want and have it approved at the Tribunal. If I wanted this airport to stay I'd be on red alert right now.
  3. No, you're correct. Just about every engine has its own lifecycle. Some, designed for linehaul over the road multi trailer work might have an industry expectation of 1.4 million km, but I've seen new model series with problems only achieving 650, 000 in their hundreds and other new modesl series coming off the line and achieving 2 million km. Going down to smaller diesel engines I've seen two different diesel engines going into the same application with one achieving a consistent 60,000 - 80,000 life cycle under the load and a competitor engine achievingf a consistent 250,000 and in later versions getting out to 800,000. km. Nothing beats costing each vehicle (engine) separately and totalling the invoices to bring you down to earth.
  4. You get above that easily by taking it to the State Tribunal. Of course an awful lot of people sit back and do nothing and the Council decision stands by deafault.
  5. It's staggering how much has changed since 2019 when I did an analysis of the lot. Adding to the cross owbership you referred to is the Chinese supply route into older brands.
  6. If you want to go up the financial structure to Stellantis you have to add the following brands. Citroen Opel Peugeot Vauxhall
  7. As of about 35 seconds ago Fiat owned: Abarth Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Ferrari Fiat Fiat Professional Jeep Lancia Maserati Ram Trucks SRT
  8. Jeep is made by Fiat.
  9. Just ensure there’s 12 volts going into the terminals while you pull the old battery out and connect the new one, affects the computers as well as the ECU.
  10. No that’s a different question. Life isn’t as simple as that. An owner or lessee can apply for a planning permit For anything at any time, and most Tribunal hearings are for a decision on why a different Use should be permitted despite the zoning.
  11. Each zone has a list of as of right Uses (where you don't need a permit), List of Uses which require a planning Permit (different to building permit which comes later) and List of Uses which are Prohibited. If you look at those lists attached to this SP2 zone you can see what's allowed and what's not allowed.
  12. They don’t own the property so can’t do anything as long as its rates are being paid and the uses are in accordance with its Planning zone, overlays and permits.
  13. You...you didn't wear the denim and boots did you Skippy?
  14. There are two vehicles schemes operating now: HEV Compressed hydrogen gas is carried in the vehicle, goes into a fuel cell which converts chemical energy into electrical energy which powers electric motors. Successfully trialled by MTT Perth in three buses around 2005. Buses powerfull and quiet, not practical costwise. Honda leased HEV Civics in Los Angeles a few years later, brought one to Australia. Several versions currently operating. HICE Approximately the same process as CNG vehicle. Hydrogen gas fuels an internal combustion engine, zero CO2 output, eliminates battery drive, suits ICE Car platforms, normal ICE range.
  15. .....solo flight in the Tennis Court (avref), and since it was dark they sat around listening to old 78s of the Russian composer Clackmaninoff who never disclosed how he was able to play such a wide scale of notes. In the morning the Carrier went to General Quarters and Garry...........
  16. Have another look at the aircraft size.
  17. Not sure why you would be contacting SAI Global. That's a different company from memory relating to ISO 9000 Series etc.
  18. If you go over to the Recreational Aviation Australia website you will see at least one Recreational Aircraft under $10,000.00 and plenty affordable. I agree with you RA is what RAA should be promoting, so there's a question RA members should be asking.
  19. How much fuel can be transported in a private vehicle: You'll need to search for it.
  20. Take it up with Standards Australia; they're not based in Chicago; I've made a submission there and had unsuitable details changed.
  21. You’ll be surprised to learn then that none of the lawyers will ignore that admission. Someone once said that ignorance is no excuse.
  22. You specified a particular Australian Standard. There are others and a crossover where a Dangerous Goods specification is triggered.
  23. AS1940, Title The storage and handling of flammable and combustable liquids. Published by Standards Australia. This standard applies throughout Australia (and if notated, in New Zealand.) You can contact Standards Australia for a copy which I would recommend you do, given what you've just said. Standards Australia has Industry committees come together and lay down Industry benchmarks and standards - the best people from each industry setting the standards for that industry. In answer to your dot points Dot 1: I would use it, and have on hudreds of vehicles across all jurisdictions. Dot 2: Yes both. Dot 3: The Standard spells that out. Dot 4: No These aren't enforceable standards, but should you have a fuel-related fire or accident, since the 1980's they have become a good defence of your duty of care where there's a forseeable risk, and conversely a good point for a Plaintiff if your aren't complying with its benchmark.
  24. .......hand down from a few centuries ago when my GGGGGGGGrandfather used to Let one go every five minutes in the barn, at the dinner table, in bed, and at the pub. The Admiral profoundly apologised for the emabrassment he had caused and then said .............
