The Whitney Boomerang?
That's the one Graeme Not entirely sure on the status of this aircraft. Seemed the manufacturer got in to financial difficulties.


Looks like a low tail Piper Tomahawk!

Appears to be only you and me left on this thread, so up to you if you want to post.

Thanks Ken and thanks for the "home" clue.

How's the weather there? News tonight shows Oz athletes whinging that it's as cold there as here?

so up to you if you want to post.
Just got home from work and will have a scrounge around now. Nothing fancy mind you.

Evening Graeme
How's the weather there?
Well, its been wet, then more wet, then just damp, and then wet again! In short a lot of rain and some localised floods - temperatures are a little below average, typically around 18-20C. Due to warm up and dry up over the next few days though

Nothing fancy mind you.
Suits me
