And now for something completely different
Ok these are fairly old pictures which I have been meaning to post for some time. If anyone can tell where this is I will be surprised. The main object is the Auster which had a hard life and after the (third) crash in the top left it was retired to a well known museum. I know many of you would have walked past it. I won’t give a rego as it gives the game away if you Google search it. The gliding operations are a bit of a clue

I remember....... a few years back.... on my first solo X country...landing at Matamata...on a "closed" runway, cos it was sooooo bloody foggy, and I couldn't see the other part of the airfield
