18 Wheeler. Are you staying in KL on that freight contract until the conclusion? I will be having a beer with Nicho in London tomorrow night and thought I might volunteer you for the Haj this year
I hear we are going back to Rose Village

I asked Crew Planning to leave in KL/MEL "for two years, I don't need holidays." Hope they do that, as I didn't do a great deal this year.
Yes, we're back off to sunny Jeddah.
I'm doing my best to avoid it though ...

A few piccies and a rather amatuer video.
Caution the vid is 9.3Mb and pictures 800kb. To view the movie you will need Quicktime.

Ta for that, downloading now.
I saw a bit on it briefly here - I flew EBQ a couple of times with my last job, and the Captain on the Longreach trip also taught me the QF procedures for the last job. I think I recognise the FE as well, does anyone know the names of the crew?

I sent 16 pikkies to OzExpat. Hopefully he can include on his web site and post the link here.
Great weekend!!!!! I'm pleased to advise that XXXX transported 1,000 kms inland is just as good as it is in Brisbane. To make sure we didn't fluke a good one, we tested a number of samples - indeed the ones at 2.00 am Sunday tasted even better. Don't know what was wrong with Chimbu Chuckles - his face was kinda blurred when I went to bed.
Gaunty - you are a piker!!!
And to those other two gentlemen (who must remain nameless but I'm sure read PPRuNe daily), thanks for a great night!

I've only just now received them Torres. Shall try to get them online tonight but can't guarantee that because of other commitments. Meanwhile, I see that Chuck has already stolen the limelight!
BTW Torres, I know ya said each pic would be about 100K, but I wasn't expecting so many of them.

Well done John Bower. Only took 4 skippers to get it there and just one f/e. All the best for you're retirement. A well complimented crew but you were obviously the corner stone.
And a well deserved onya

Photos By Torres
I rearranged my schedule for tonight so that I could get the photos online for Torres. As I'm starting to run out of space on my FotoTime site (and don't feel like buying more space), I don't expect these photos to be online for more than about 6 months.
Anyway, have a look at the photos of VH-EBQ now and I hope you enjoy them.

Aaaiii! Masta...mi no rascal steelyman...em i narapela tasol
And where is that 'party till dawn/drink us all under the table' sandgroper?
Torres...were those two guys drinking incognito...I couldn't imagine anyone giving a fook
Oh Gaunt one...did one miss one's Perth connection
Don't remember too many piccies being taken during the great LRE rehydration...bit hard with a pot in each hand.
Much relieved Chuckles

Question: How long can a Dash 8 wait?
Answer: As long as it takes........ (for those who were there )
Chuck - u da MAN seriously, thanks for a bonza weekend; got some good DVid of your TWB app too. The JPI is the ducks nuts, for sure. Alas; learnt today that the C55 is a dog, imported from PNG and reconstructed from about 5 different hulks........
Also Torres - hope you were not referring to moi as a 'gentleman' - I work for a living
Good to meet some of the PPrune legends...... just ask them, they'll tell ya......
Not so the PEANUT in the loaded C210 on Sunday morning
Thanks all and look forward to the next opportunity.
Cheers.

Captions not necessary, OzExpat. But the picture LRE006 is Moi, Torres, contemplating starting another Queensland airline with twin wing, (rather than twin engine) aircraft! (The biplane is a fibre glass and plastic full size model.)
The weird looking green single is a Broussard - or some such name.
LRE004 is the B737 charter arriving from Sydney.
Sorry guys, forgot to take pikkies of the LRE Proon Bash. Hard to do with chopsticks in one hand an a XXXX in the other! Hell, it was thirsty work Kaptin - the temp was close to 40 C and over 20 C at night.
The Bash was originally scheduled for the RSL, but they had a power failure so we ended up at Hoo Flung Dung's Chinese Restaurant (or some name like that. Maybe.) then the Welcome Home Hotel, possibly because the hotel was opposite the restaurant and no one was game to drive. Chuck, I found the Prado next morning, over the road. Not sure how it got there.........

Gaunty: Missing In Action (MIA)
Gaunty's absence from these forums is noted with some concern.
Is there any truth in the rumour he was last seen trying to hitch a lift on the Warrego Highway!
Should we call out the Boy Scouts to start a search of all Pubs, Longreach to Perth?

We flew it occasionally when either DQ-FJE or DQ-FJI was in for a big check. I had a quick look in my log book, and I flew it on 11-9-98, and I remember it was about the third landing in the 747, the first at night and I thumped it onto the ground so hard I dropped some oxy masks down the back!! I was SOOO embarrased!! First & last time I've ever done that.
I then flew it about a week later, and from memory landed it a lot better than time ....
