...ahhh yes the old Bristol freighter, poor buggers who went to their watery grave mid 70's where no doubt wishing they where in something more powerful.
Gee just did a quick Google on the old Bristol..........Christ they have crashed more times than I have had hot meals since the 40's!

I also recall the old Canberra bombers up the nth end of the drome, I have an old photo of them looking derelict but never could figure out how to post pix here.
The Piagio twin piston job, the old Cat looking more like a Hills clothes line & the CB bombers along with many other old machines are now only memories in us old buggers fading minds!
That's when Australia was a nation of happy proud people who had an exciting & rewarding aviation industry..........that too is gone along with the ghosts of many a nice time:-)
Progress, the nail in the coffin for all things of the past
