The photo is available from your local friendly Agusta rep as a wall poster. Mine was ordered yesterday

The Adelaide GP about 14 years ago featured a "race" between an RN Lynx and a F1 car. The Lynx had just taken the world speed record, and Westland were still optimistic of scoring a sale or two to the RAN.

Needless to say, the Lynx won, after some "spirited" low flying, although the Pongos went one better and flew part of their Kiowa display down pit straight, between the chalets

The Adelaide party was always a better air display than a motor race, unfortunately the nimbies at Albert Park have relegated the Melbourne F1 to a boring affair. We've even had formation ultralights, which entertained the crowd for all of 30 milliseconds.
