Re: Road Trip
Batcheler & Darwin Photos - Fixed Wing - Warbirds and So on...........
The Lovely Harvard - awesum machine I have been converted!!!
The DC3 - About as much Radial as you could handle I'd Recon.
Interesting little Italion Import - The Texan not a bad looking little machine, appeared to handle nicley and was pretty nice inside for room etc. Exp though as ultralights go.
The Tiger Moth
The Stork - you would not belive how little room this thing had to place a pilot and a couple of others including the WW2 strip out from Batcheler NT (one of many)
Blackduck - and the Colt with Black Duck
couple of sunrises

A good idea needs landing gear as well as wings to get off the ground.

Re: Road Trip
Sorry Pegs, but the boss has asked that we keep photos of the EC135 (VH- Secret) under wraps at this stage. He doesn't want its image/ID burnt just yet. Therefore would you be able to remove the photos?
Of course you can hang onto them as private and there will be a time in the future where it probably wont make a differnce. You will remember that at the time I explained why it didn't have any Police markings on it.
For those that missed the pix, sorry.

What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.

Hi Pegs
The Harvard (VH-VFM) in those Photo was my Grandfathers from 1984 up until last year. And was wondering if you could email me those Photos so i could print them out for him. Not sure he would approve it flying from a gravel strip!

Re: Road Trip
Hi Mate,
yeah sure thing, PM me your email address and i will be happy to send some through to you , you will be pleased to know its not flying off a gravel strip, that is a WW2 strip at Batchelor NT, the one down at Coolandie Creek (I think thats how it was spelt), which is a sealed strip. The Harvard flew in as part of the Darwin Areonautical Historical Society who had a bit of a get together down at Batchelor that weekend. She was a stunner of a plane, certaintly caught our attention. a pity to have to part with an aircraft like that.
