I hope the two of you, and hopefully others, are going to be around this weekend.
Oz is nine hours ahead of me and Minnesota six hours behind - I feel like piggy-in-the-middle.

Evening Trevor. It was designed by Gene Smith, who designed the Backyard Flyer. It is also referenced as the Valley Engineering Ultralight Biplane. I mention that just in case that's the name being looked for
Hope you've had a good day. Been making the most of the nice weather and attending to the garden, sadly interrupted by work on rather too many occasions

Yes; it's been much the same with me, but also hampered by my dodgy Internet
David's picture is here
EAA Young Eagles - 1001 Aviation Photos
and I guess you've covered all options, so I'm sure he'd be happy for you to post if you want to

has to be a gas turbine, surely..
Not sure what make engine it is but I am pretty sure it's not a gas turbine.
Edit to say, it's a VW engine.

Homebuilt, yes
Racer..it's not described as such although certainly looks like it should be

Morning Jubileers.
Did you once tell me Ken that you considered Russia as part of Europe?

Part of it is, but for the purposes of SC, I exclude it. However, you are close
How's things in the colonies...are you all celebrating with us?

Yes mate.
I'm reading my Jubilee Souvenir magazine as I search for your long nosed machine.
I met someone today who "touched" the Queen in 1954 when she visited Wagga. Small World ain't it?
Polish?
Mid 80's?

Good to see you entering in to the spirit of things.

I also know someone who falls into that category...but it was in the UK, not Wagga Wagga. I've shaken hands with someone who shook hands with Princess Margaret
Head north, 1983
I'm reminded by eldest daughter that she has a letter sent to her written on behalf of the Queen
