No, not our F27 (which has gone to Ferrymead some time ago).

The MEL for that a/c must be some document!!

What does MEL mean?

dubbleyew eight 11th Aug 2013 06:57

I'm going to guess Ardmore

a mel is the minimum equipment list. it gives a schedule of what the aircraft can have broken and still be flown.

John Hill 11th Aug 2013 07:03

Sorry, not Ardmore.

Once the Poms wake up they will have this one in no time at all!

That would be the view from the sharp (err, rounded) end of ex-Safe Air Argosy ZK-SAE at Renwick, Marlborough, New Zealand.


Most definitely not an F.27....
Yep, twice as loud!

I should be really tough and ask for the name of the airport, Woodbourne, but as it is actually across the road I think no one could argue with Renwick.

Over to you sir!

the airfield was created/upgraded by an ex merchant banker who loved a boags. the airstrip has about 18 inches of compressed limestone as a foundation. methinks it is one of the best gravel strips in australia.

:ugh::ugh::ugh:

Aah Boags - Tassie then?

But a bit dry looking maybe? So SW Oz?

dubbleyew eight 11th Aug 2013 11:54

no sir both suggestions are incorrect. try further west :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

evansb 11th Aug 2013 21:35

Perenjori (YPJI), Western Australia ?

dubbleyew eight 12th Aug 2013 02:09

evansb my boy you are correct. you win today's air guitar.

you guys may have realised that the Barwick Airfield sign was a total red herring. when the strip was developed the merchant banker wanted it named after a WW2 aviator, born locally I think. When the council found out what certifying the strip would cost they dropped the idea.
The name remains but is only locally known.

evansb you have the next challenge.:D

evansb 12th Aug 2013 12:10

Thank you. Here is the next mystery 'drome:
