    .....off and running. Turbo could now look at updating the Challenger [avref] and took to announcing new products from the Hobart Town Hall stage, which was lit up by giant floodlights and dressed with tubs of fresh apples (the main product of Tasmania before the orchardists all switched to growing marijuana for medicinal purposes). Turbo would appear out of the smoke haze produced by six smoke machines, and a Tasmanian Devil chained to one of the apple tubs could be heard coughing and growling somewhere in the smoke. However, the press .......................................

    A couple of oversized egos and ambitions mixed up with their capabilities and the key person, probably the most valuable person in RAA, who was almost single-handedly responsible for the Narromine event walked away. NO ONE since has even been 5% as good as she was. If you go through the old photos from around 2005 - 2010 you'll see what it used to be. That could be recreated by either the same person or someone with the same outstanding skills.

    ......that he and the Registrar had discussed old times on the Khyber Pass over a pathway of reds and dead Khybers. The Registrar hated these nouveau riche types "Do WE KNOW any of them, EH? ....EH?....Who ARE these upstarts" he said to Turbo who nodded in agreement, and a few days later the new Register (the old one had accidentally slipped off the table and into a bucket of molasses showed Turbine Industries holding the original AI registration and the other people not compliant with a rule introduced in 1993 requiring anyone not happy with his Registration details to respond by registered lette within 24 hours of receiving there new Certificate.

It's said that folks in Launceston are ordering their shopping from Coles Online rather than wheeling out the Humber, just in case Jackie's out there ready to give them a good dressing down, Army style. [Mohammad Bin Toro shown below taking advantage of the launch of the new AFL the Tasmania Devils. The T stands for Devil in Cajun. Note the screwed up face and the fact that he is holding the banner as far away from his nose as he can; the team's new mascot, Tassie the Devil has already christened it.

    You should be able to calculate that Sunny, it amounts to a 21.5% increase in RA aircraft if every enquiry converts to an aircraft. The way these things go, from initial enquiry to actual conversion, my rough guess would be about a 2% actual change in aircraft numbers.

The Goms, relishing a new outrage, mobilised with one referring to Captain Cook as a woke gaslighter, another asking whethere anyone knew of a spare set of magneto switches for a Tiger Moth, and another strongly insisting that the weather in April could be rough and he didn't think he could go.

    Google will pick up aviators all over Australia who don't use forums. However, be prepared; whole industries have been wiped out by poor business during Covid and poorer business in the last year because a whole section of the community is scratching to buy their groceries. In Melbourne all sorts of small businesses in engineering, sheetmetal, mechanical, etc have been closing down shop by shop.

    No, we normally google it.

    ..someone had seen a car. It was something you didn't see much in Tasmania; it was common to see plates with Tas 5 State of Tigers, even though there weren't any these days. For their holidays people would walk up to Devonport and watch their ship, the Princess of Tasmania dock and all the cars and trucks roll off. It was while a couple, Damian and Dave were watching cars ome of that the noticed on with a trailer. On the back was a Skippy 5 with a Jabiru engine...................................

    Where?
  18. turboplanner
    Yes but better than hitting a tree with the nose. The other thing I was taught was if you aren't going to stop before the fence, building, trees ground loop it. About 15 years ago someone did that in a Jab; the Jab was too light to break the fence down but the wing collapsed until the fuselage hit the fence. The pilot got out with a broken arm.
  19. turboplanner
    That's what I was taught to do in a forced landing involving trees, sheds, big rocks - concentrate on the gaps, break the wings off to slow you down. Also I was taught the technique of forced landing into a canopy of big trees, but I've fogotten what it was. These days I see a lot of posts using the term Outlanding which, with the glider's controls like air brakes, is quite a different experience to something with a heavy engine confusing the issue and a glide like a brick by comparison.

    Good job for you FH.
  21. turboplanner
    VERY GOOD Skippy; now that can go in the events section unless there's a demarkation issue. Is that you promoting it with a dance?

    ...wash its hands of the affair since the bow of the trawler had pushed through the front doors of Customs House and was now in the office of the Third Assistant Secretary of Customs; a cushy job handed to Damian from Canberra secretly by his father Sir James Framlingham Track. Damian who had his handicaps also was very cunning and he called in his Customs Officers and ordered a search of the vessel. "They must be trying to hide something he said, looking up at the aircraft deck now sitting in Davey St." That's all he needed to say; his troops were all required to spend a six months stretch with CASA, so they decided to do a ramp check. Once they got through the miles of longline, they started picking up all sorts of appliances, tobacco, groceries branded Woolworths but with small print on the cartons "supplied by Turbine Agriculture, Calabria." Something had to be done.......................

    .....the throttle wide open and headed straight for the dock. Later, in the Tasmanian Royal Commission, Captain Bull said he was going for a "dry" landing prior to cleaning the keel, but the Hon Clifford C. T. Banks KC pointed out that he had hit a Morris Oxford and a late 1976 Torana, and they were operating within their lanes and neither were speeding. However, the Hon Alastair Cook KC argued that they were both unregistered (a common practice in Tasmania) and the Judge found them guilty and awarded costs to Capt B. and saluted him. The Hobart City Council now had to .....................

    Big crowd on a hot day indicates the PR, Advertising was correct for the show.

    The thread is about advertising of the lack of it.
