HA....well as has been said before,aviation is a small world. I flew for Lanhams at Coolangatta from June 74 til June 76. We eventually got your C210 VH-CHL.....felt like an airliner.

Correct!! with the place
but, Pilot was the gentleman from Scone, Col Pay.
On the day, the casa dudes threatened all the people who were in the paddock - coz they were in danger.
The day was the first flight of the Wright Flyer replica!! on 11th February 2005

Note the Hillman Minx engine which is really a Coventry Climax slant 4 engine. I wonder did the FAA clear the paddock for the Wright Bros.

The keen aviators
Here is the view of the paddock Jaba, as the aircraft just started to move:
Just a fantastic day and the best part was people interaction with flight - that is really what it is all about. The number of just local people [and non-flyers] demonstrated, now why we must get the changes to casa, atsb to ensure what happened then can bu un-fettered and continue.
Sorry mods - just a philosophy born of allowing people to be able to think laterally and go where they are able to achieve their best results.

Frank, I operated a Forklift at Mooroopna for a pear season about 18 years ago that was a Coventry Climax that they "bought 23 years ago second hand from the SPC factory to get them through the season." It was still going strong. I drove past there a couple of weeks ago however it looks like it has been tiered since then.

A couple from the Tyabb airshow a couple of weeks back...
An entertaining battle against the VC. Complete with fireworks, Trojan, Birddog and Jeff Trappets DC3.
A slightly unusual visitor.

The twin engine 'searay???" looks good to me...
The p-51 pic...doesn't to the 'wrong' count any justice. The 'sound' portrayed....OMG I felt a slight of embarresment as I walked away from the display.
don't get me wrong, their fund raising to pursue the preservation of this airframe has a lot of merit, but the application of that display didn't help them as much as i might have.
Personally, if they'd said to me 5 bucks to take a seat in the cockpit for a few minutes, i'd have jumped at it, and I know plenty of others who would happily part with a few bucks for the same opportunity.
Just my 2 bobs worth for free....

Not unusual, Jaba for the Dubbo ANDRA boys and girls in past years to have YWEL NOTAMed off limits for us guys and gals. They used the strip for drag racing. (I have to admit to having been there spectating on one occasion, during an Easter Sunday..)
