You need a better camera then. One that doesn't show the curvature of the earth at 10,000ft.

Percival Prince?

[Trent 972]

Percival Pembroke. (with 1 rider attached)
It could be a 'President' or as dave says a 'Prince', but those engines look like as fitted to the 'Pembroke'
:uhoh: Although in those colours, I wouldn't be surprised if it is 1 of the 2 'Survey Prince's' operated by the Thai Armed Forces. :uhoh:

[Wanderin_dave]

Trent, I reckon you're right with 'Pembroke', a quick google brought up the Wiki list of survivors for the Prince and they're all in museums.

[Capn Bloggs]

A thing called sops- landing lights on in EK at 10000 ft agl. I'm sure even Qf has them. You know sops?
10,000ft AGL? What, were they flying over Mt Everest at the time?? :E

[L0u0k0e]

Roulettes up north a couple of months ago. Lens wasn't quite long enough for this shot, so had to crop quite heavily.

Those Raafy types are a bunch of throttle bashers, looks like he's blown the oil rings on all eight cylinders. Those PC9's would have to have a V8 in them the way they go.

[john_tullamarine]

Lovely shot .. even if the pilot is at risk of suffering hypoxia.

[Fantome]

please do some homework, tell us the tongue is in the cheek, or . .. . . . . . .

[allthecoolnamesarego]

Of course it is tongue in cheek, every one knows those PC9's are fitted with V12's. Jeez, some people know nothing!

The Griffith Firefly.

Anybody got any Gannet photo's?

[jas24zzk]

Anybody got any Gannet photo's?


Nope....no one could spare tha cash to waste on the film :p






------------------------

At least i got the manufacturer right on the Se-Prince pic................missed the rest lol

[Trojan1981]

Love the Firefly, but hate to see it out in the weather. Bring it inside!

It's time most of these pole-dwellers were replaced with fiberglass replicas.

[Ex FSO GRIFFO]

Amen to that Mr 'T',

I remember the days, but alas, not the actual date, - mid sixties - it came in from Nowra(?)....Schofields(?)... To Rex Av at BK, where it sat for a while, then took off, flew to Griffith, where they drained out the oils and fuel, and put it up on that pole...where it has sat ever since I guess.

A similar fate to the Spitfire that sat in 'The Terrace' Perth, until it WAS removed, sent to NZ, had moulds made, and now the 'real thing' resides inside the Bull Creek Museum, whilst the fiberglass replica sits on the pole outside...

Decorated in the colors of 451 'Bankstown to Berlin' squadron, which oddly enough had no affiliation with WA....
Except that the Boxing Kangaroo emblem was later used by Alan Bond's yacht race team......
However, it's all good....
:ok:

[Trojan1981]

Geez Griffo, the thought of that makes me wince.

So I take it that it is largely complete? The Perth Spitfire is a perfect example.
There is a company in the UK that makes them from scratch too.:ok:

[TriMedGroup]

where it has sat ever since I guess

Not so Griffo - ADF Serials - RAN N1 Fairey Firefly (http://www.adf-serials.com/n1.shtml)

[Jamair]

I recall something fro the UK where various 'gate-guard' Spitfires etc were systematically removed, replaced with fibreglass replicas and restored for display or flight.

Re Gannetts, I think I have some pix of one from Caloundra, buried in the photo box somewhere.

[Trojan1981]

Quote:

So this is actually Mickey Mouse! You learn something every day!

I still wish it was a replica up there, but it's a good news story for the original Griffith Firefly.

the Spitfire that sat in 'The Terrace' Perth,

do you recall griff how she was mounted in front of the Air Force Assoc HQ where the late ex fitter 2E , one Frank P held court?

Came in off the red-eye special, did not notice the Spittie there till I flung back the curtains at 10 am on the upstairs front room bay window . . . and BEHOLD

However, when the wind is up and the tide is crap, it's all hands on deck!

Like most jobs, there are good days and bad!

:E

[Piano Man]

Capt Fathom;

So very true...it's very rare the camera comes out on the 25kt plus wind days especially if the plane is dragging you down beach. But when the weather was as good as in the above photo...well it happens to be one of the best jobs going!

VH ZDA
Power Driven Aeroplane with Tailwheel - Fixed landing gear
Single Piston engine

Manufacturer: DE HAVILLAND CANADA
Model: DHC-2 MK 1 (U-6A)
Serial number: 54-1672
Aircraft first registered in Australia: 30 September 2010
Year of manufacture: 1954

1954? Is that right?

[Super Cecil]

Sounds early for such a late serial

[iPahlot]

Sounds early for such a late serial


I believe ZDA is serial #803 the YY-#### serial was used for military Beavers (Models U-6A and U-6B) with the year making up the first part of the number.

I'm not entirely sure about the history of the serial number designations and how they were spread about the various models but I'm sure there are some people on these forums more knowledgeable than myself that may be able shed some light on this.

[Piano Man]

Yep 1954 is correct. Serial number 803. Air Whitsunday have an even earlier one though!

ZDA started out life as an airforce aircraft and on one of her wings you can still see the old bomb mounts.

[frigatebird]

it's very rare the camera comes out on the 25kt plus wind days


Some of us are interested in the rare shots too....

Wow. It looks so new. Must say, well maintained! :ok:

There must be many stories that have been told about this aircraft.

I knew I'd seen it before, in an old aircraft directory when I was younger. It's ugliness struck me, but I believe there is a bed and a table in there, and you 'step up' to the cockpit.

[peuce]

Piano Man ... excuse my ignorance, but how the hell do the passengers board those huge amphibs?

[Piano Man]

Peuce...ignorance excused. :}

At places like Hamo and Shute Harbour, there are specially made stairs that you wheel up to the side of the floats. With the caravan it is more often than not you use the cargo door for loading rather than the air stairs. The beaver it doesn't really matter. The doors where designed to get 44 gallon drums in and out so passengers aren't to much of a problem.

The Amphibs are quite impressive to taxi around however, especially going eye to eye with 737 pilots.

[Trojan1981]

Piano Man, you are a man of taste. Great shots :ok:

Despot 78,
On 24 Jan 1980 you took me along for an engine air test in "Grumpy Monkey" Mirage A3-116. That remains the most exciting hour of my life. We flew through the speed of sound high level and then a bit of low level hooning around Bulahdelah and Myall Lakes. Fantastic!!! My Machbuster Certificate is hanging on my office wall.
A3-116's fin still exists at the Air Cadets HQ at Coffs Harbour airport. Whenever I travel through there I pay it a visit.

Cheers, Despot 20. (Us RadTechs used our tooltag numbers when doing radio checks.)

Cpt Bloggs,

Sadly, even some of the newer metal Leadsled flew commercially are now parked at Victorville CA. Ie B747 438s.

I think that part of Leadsled's long life can be put down to a healthy diet supplement, the consumption of Coopers Pale Ale.

Works for me too.

I don't know where Dave went after Masling..I left in June 1981, he was still there then..if I recall he had a little incident landing a Queenair at Condoblin one night....

[gerry111]

Jaba. You're completely correct that the V35 aircrew are always substantially much more dodgy than the Bo.

But where was the hangar photo taken? If you haven't been there, you really should do it. You and your RV will enjoy the long trip.

Head west, young man!!

[Jabawocky]

Have headed west a bit, YDBI today ;)

I suspect it is at Forrest but not 100% sure.

Sounds like you are a dodgy Fork Tailed driver too:ok:

Speaking of Forkie, he has been quiet....:}

[gerry111]

Jaba,

Dirranbandi's a little out of town for you. We visited YLRD in the Bo on the October long weekend. Not far from there. We didn't dare cross the NSW/Qld border due to the lack of daylight saving..

You're correct. YFRT it is. Fantastic place to overnight if travelling over to the West Coast. You get your own house! The rusty old hangar was built by the yanks in about 1929. That trip was over to YPJT for the last Red Bull Air Races in Perth.

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Just looked up the logbook. On 16 January 1976, I was checked out on the Bonanza in VH-CFK by one Barry Hempel. Had 50 hrs dual and 100 hrs PIC in the log book at the time. 55 min later I was good to go in the Bo! :ok:

What is it about V-tail Bo pilots and droopy mo's?

The rusty old hangar was built by the yanks in about 1929.Not so! It was built by West Australian Airways, along with the hostel, as facilities for the overnight stop for their Perth-Adelaide HP Hercules service.

And that is his favorite shirt too.....we have countless photos of that shirt.

[gerry111]

Dora-9,

My apologies. According to a 'well known search engine', you are entirely correct.

But I'm sort of fairly sure that within the Forrest Airport Museum, that there is a reference to that the yanks either built the hangar or perhaps paid for it? I seem to remember that the yanks saw a strategic value in the airfield being there.

(Consider though, I'd probably consumed too much camel and too many reds at the community dinner the night before??)

So next time Clinton and I call in there, I'll check.

It's true Clinton is a young bloke despite his rapidly greying hair. Somehow he manages to keep his 'droopy mo' jet black...:E

[Dale Hardale]

I flew CFK circa 1970 when it was operated by Civil Flying Services in Moorabbin. It was a great aircraft then and looks in great nick still. :ok:

From memory there was a sister aircraft CFH as well.

[Dora-9]

gerry111 – thanks for agreeing with my comment about the origin of Forrest’s hangar. I really can’t imagine the US having any “strategic interest” in Australia back in 1929…

Dale Hardale – In the period 1965-1970 (when I was there anyway), Civils had four Bonanzas; these were V35’s CFC, CFH & CFK plus S35 CFB. CFC was Perth-based, the rest were at Moorabbin.

Now I thought I might be able to regale you all with a tale combining CFK and the Forrest hangar, but my logbook reveals it wasn’t that particular aircraft! In March 1968 I ferried a gorgeous brand-new E33A, DDE (were they still called Debonairs then?) from Bankstown to Jandakot. This involved overnighting at Forrest; I was kindly offered space in the hangar and told that I was in luck because “tonight was movie night”. All the locals gathered from far and wide; the venue a theatrette built into the side of the hangar. Vast quantities of amber liquid were being consumed at a prodigious rate; the night got ever louder and more raucous. The film was “The Ipcress File” – I was looking forward to seeing this. However the projectionist was already absolutely legless and having successfully, despite much fumbling and swearing, shown the first reel first, he then jumbled up the remaining three reels out of sequence. Of course, the film now made no sense at all; oddly it seemed I was the only one who even noticed. The gathering got louder and louder. The next morning brought a pounding headache plus a strong desire to see the film again to make some sense of the story. Oh, and my once immaculate Beechcraft was now covered in bird-poop too….

Lastly, a photo of CFK at Ararat in 1967, from the extensive collection of Geoff Goodall.

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

I suspect DDE was headed for the Darling Downs Aeroclub in Toowoomba. They had a Deb, way back when - and most of their aircraft were Delta Delta Somethingorother. Never flew it so I can't look up the logbook.

ADSYJ, thanks for the praise! For the past three months we have been spoilt by the weather, however as any of the jet boys or girls know now we have been getting a lot of eastery winds making our life fun landing at Hamo!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm afraid the chances of the camera coming out on an average weather day are slim because:

1. We actually have to work as the plane will do what it wants to do until its on the anchor, and even then doesn't guarantee it will be helpful!

&

2. The camera is worth a lot of money for a GA pilot

Sadly for everyone the seaplane photos will only be those on good weather days that guarantee the camera stays salt and sand free, and the plane is doing what it is meant to do :}

The City of Churches and Pubs!

It's just an SR20
Isn't it the SR28? How many chutes in the recovery system again? Let's see, 250t / 500kg per chute... 500 chutes! Better write it off; cheaper than repacking them! :}

[gerry111]

Jaba and Bloggsy,
I reckon it is a Cirrus SR22 based at Aldinga in S.A. And the runway is 23 at YPAD. If there is a prize for this, please send me a shared carton of Coopers Pale Ale with Bloggsy prior to Christmas....

[Fred Gassit]

#5 EGT probe, do they go north like that when they go open circuit?

[Jabawocky]

Well done Fred, and here I was looking at heights locations and wondering what dodgy things xxx was up to this time:E

Probe failure, or just a typical genuine factory TCM exhaust valve, lucky it was only one:uhoh:

And before too many folk get carried away, no matter what you do with the way TCM assembled their cylinders, this would be highly likely. Of course the pilot gets blamed, not the poor assembly:rolleyes::ugh:

[VH-XXX]

Of course I only mentioned Jabba because of his love of the engine and EGT's ;)

Correct, runway 23 Adelaide.

It's an SR22 yep with one BRS chute, the rego on the dash made it easy! This is from the archives so long before it found its way to Aldinga and started flying through thunderstorms and the like.

I found an awesome video in my email of it doing a fly by but I'd better not post it as the trolls will send it to CASA!

There's nothing quite like flying around big wide open paddocks for scenery like your pics. Landing on a nice big grass strip, taxiing up to the house or shed, or walking out of our house, turning the key and away you go.

cheers for the photo zappalin, seen some other photos from Tonga, the flying looks amazing, especially in those older machines.

[zappalin]

No worries, I myself found it quite fascinating to see the sort of fleet that Chathams are operating! Will have to go over for a visit before his job over there finishes up.
Here are some more of the fleet, including the DC3 and Queenair, all looking immaculate.

Tonga aerial pictures... (http://www.travel-tour-guide.com/Tonga_whales_pictures/1_flights_to_tonga_aerial_photos.htm)

[prospector]

The Queenair in previous lives was VH-AEQ, picked up from Moorabbin when the spar life? was reached, according to Aussie rules.

Then, after a major overhaul by Fieldair Palmerston North, converted into a dedicated freight hauler for Port Hutt Air as ZK-WKA hauling Paua, crayfish, and blue cod out of Chatham Island for numerous markets.

Routine maintenance carried out by Fieldair, they had long experience with the Lycoming IO720 engines, same as used in the FU24 950 Ag aircraft.

The Garmin 430 was installed in Wellington, made the GPS Instrument approach in to Chathams much more comfortable then the NDB approach, as the beacon was some miles from the airstrip.

Very good to see the Queenair looking well looked after and being useful again after looking so forlorn in Palmerston North for a number of years.

[seneca208]

Agreed Prospector, looks to be in good nic, you'd probably even get me in the cockpit with that garmin 430 :} The DC3 looks in mint condition. I think chats also fly one of the shortest routes in the world with their islander over there? 2 minutes or something along the lines of that anyway. Nice looking Metro too..
