No doubt about it - be it planes or cars, the northern hemisphere is the place to be...

I thought I could remember from way back ... single blade props from control line model racer aircraft ... Googled it up, and hey-presto! It's almost Python-esque to watch, but of course, deadly serious stuff.

Let's hope the outcome is more positive than that from Burma/Myanmar.....

REAL aeroplanes have two wings and round engines ... big round engines ![ATTACH=full]1944[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18483[/ATTACH]

Brigitte Bardot was one who used to tick all my boxes - but at this stage in life, nostalgia has taken over... :rolleyes:

Frank Williams is a legend: in 1995 Christine & I attended the AAAA fly in at Cowra: got chatting to the Luskintyre mob, & were invited to "drop in" as we were headed towards Sydney. We got a flight with Frank in one of the Tigers - loops, barrel rolls ... the lot. What a wonderful group of aviation enthusiasts. The place and the people have a very very special spot in our hearts. [ATTACH=full]1940[/ATTACH]

I'll second/third the welcome Martin - & should you make it to our "Wide Brown Land " we guarantee the weather & topography will be more "flying friendly" ;)!

Bloody Hell, doesn't that Bentley rotary sound really GREAT!

FANTASIC ! Make sure to follow up with the other clips!

Thirsty? Don't stress - I'm having that drink for you, Kaye ... great to hear it went well for you. We're just about to hitch up the trailer and head off. Cheers from Geoff & Chris

One of the Antique Aeroplane Association guys used to have a Mini-moke. Bright yellow, rondels either side. Used it to travel to the various fly-ins ... dubbed "The Tiger Moth Simulator". Brilliant.

With mention here of Shepparton, I take the opportunity to let anyone in that vicinity know that there's the National Veteran Car Rally occurring there from September 16th to 20th. If the vehicle (I use the term "vehicle" loosely) here is running (god willing...), flag us down and enjoy the experience of a lifetime at a heady 25km/hr. No seat belts, no helmets. Oh the thrill of it all....:rolleyes: [ATTACH=full]1934[/ATTACH]

Have a drink for you Kaye? NOT A PROBLEM! All the best... X X from Geoff & Chris
