and your RG endo was done in an RG where you have to like, pump the gear up and down?
VH-MWB was put in the drink off Newcastle in the 70's by a pilot who ran a tank dry and couldn't get it started again quickly.

So Pyro, that second pic looks like the dash of a Jabiru that was in the Jimbour gaggle! Did you manage to bum a ride with Jaba?

And here was me thinking the 'shagged batt' would have meant hand-swinging the prop. Soon as I saw the length of the video I knew I was wrong - I dont know anyone who can start an engine by hand in one minute 53!

Daylight comes after a long night -- This day they had some hassles at the paper printers and the departure was delayed by about 2-3 hours. From memory a new setup was being trialed whereby the papers were picked up in BNE, fuel in LRE, Crew change and fuel in Isa, DN, TNK, then AS - then ferry back to TL. Radar was in the OFF mode - had severe cavok
Someone got me started on these pics so some more random ones from around the traps:
This storm
Spun that around on the tarmac, relocated the bungs and gave a free compressor wash.
Sunrise somewhere on the way to MK
Night moonscape somewhere between MK and RK
