Hey Avgas,
Is yours a H model, and is your connie one of those
Geared ones, not many around any more, a good machine
Most likely, could have done with spats that don't look like they
Are off a 20's sidecar though,
Ozgrade,
I think your comments are pretty much on the money, albeit
I have a feeling a change in culture has had an equal amount of
Effect as possible tax incentive changes,
when I was a kid the Sunday Night at the Aero club would see at least 20-25 families all coming together for a regular dinner/drinks etc, and usually at least one other night of the week there would be something on, plus the big Xmas party @ the end of the year etc,
I'm led to believe there has been a large reduction in Oz the existence of aero clubs, and in Vic at least, I believe is largely responsible also, for such a decline in GA. or was the lack of GA what led to them disappearing in the first place?
