Fantome, I actually lived in Melbourne for a few years, long ago during the days of the "six oclock swill", long gone thank heavens! During my time there there were indeed some beutifull vintage aircraft flying, {much to the distress of the DCA which at the time seemed to be staffed by very unhappy Poms} I must grant you that flying down the East coast at sunset is simply amazing, and the number a VFR flying days makes owning a Tiger, or any vintage bipe a realistic way to travel, would have stayed but it was not to be, still keep in touch with some of my mates, those that are still above ground that is!
