A great day at Temora, thousands there, never seen so many at Temora. At least 200 visiting aircraft. An absolute credit to the museum. Great pics in your link Jaba.

Parking for private aircraft well organised and the fuel truck was on hand as you pulled up. Well done Temora!

The only issue I had was the enforced taxi at departure the full length of Runway 36 to R 23 when the wind favoured 36. Unicom would not allow 36, although one pilot I saw just ignored the request, the five aircraft taxi-ing on the 36 runway, and took off on the grass alongside 36 anyway. When I rolled on 23 got caught in a gust from the right rear. Weather Obs said wind was gusting 26 kts at the time. One could have come unstuck quite easily.
