Could it be Australia's answer to top gear? :)

mudder goose. Whilst spoken in jest you might be close to the truth.....

I am aware BBC "Top Gear" was filming today at Camden. I don't know anything more than that. I was asked to caretake the premises they were to use as a base but I couldnt do it as I was away from Sydney......

What did you see..............???

I saw nothing. I'm nearly 1000KM away. It was mentioned on a radio station, about a month ago, filming would commence...June(?) for the OZ series. Given Top gear use an airstrip to cut loose it is probable cars, filmcrew and an airfield in OZ might be used for the same thing? This is pure deduction of course and conjecture. :8

From memory, the announcer did say filming would move around sections of the country side but I am happy to stand corrected.

FS sounds more like RE to me :suspect: :D

...Wht would you tie up a perfectly serviceable airport when you have an equally serviceable motor racing circuit just over the hill? :confused:

maybe racing circuits just aren't cool enough for cars anymore...or maybe it's a plot to convert the existing airports to film studios... I wonder how much the corporation made out of location fees, probably around 20k for the day.

Yes, I am back from my exile.
Sir, You do not have to give me a lecture about the area, I have spent the last 20 or so years in and around Camden and regularly fly in and out of the airport. I was one of the strongest supporters of the local community against certain relegious group attempting to set up a stronghold which i am still cheering for not succeding. I do not want to openly discuss this issue too much further or i am risking another trip to Siberia again but just look at suburbs like Lakemba or Cabramatta and see what these relegious groups that you are protecting done to the community. I may have gone too far in my comments but i intended to be more sarcastic rather than racist, unfortunatly i hit a very sensitive nerve and i hereby apologise if i have offended anyone doing so.:sad:

As for Camden Airport.
Why can not these clowns with their cameras and plastic cars piss off to Oran Park which is a registered racetrack and only 10 minutes away and give me my runway back!:{

But to use a racetrack is to follow many before you. To use a runway is just, different!
