That’s a very kind offer, Advance! That means I'll have a choice of four machines, then.
Interestingly, I remember very well that eclipse in ’76. I was then a first year apprentice at the RAAF School of Radio at Club Med Laverton. I remember going out and looking at the black circle of the moon at the ‘totality’ point – despite all the advice. I also remember how quickly it got cold and that all the birds went crazy.
My first real air race experience was the Bicentennial Round Australia Air Race. Lots of stories out of that one. I’ll stand by for details of the one the subject of this thread.
