"... like flying a 1425 hp Chipmunk",
The mind boggles indeed if you are a nitpicker, however I would challenge those same critics to do a circuit or two, preferrably in a single seat model.
More photo's needed

The old aero engines can be fascinating--this one had no information attached, still awaiting it's place in the display: appears to be an OHC V8, liquid cooled?
These were circa 1917, so obviously WW1. Perhaps a Farman F45?

I have had the pleasure of flying both the un-swept DH-C1 and the T28

Emu Gully
I feel a bit annoyed that I have to share this.. but they put on a fantastic show.
Air and Land Spectacular
All replicas in varying sizes.
The ground show was also very impressive.

The Emu Gully Air & Land Spectacular is Australia’s largest re-enactment of Anzac history. Australia’s biggest collection of operating military vehicles is not only on display, but comes to life to re-enact Gallipoli, scenes from World War II and other pivotal battles in our Nation’s history. The action on the ground is matched with excitement in the skies, as military aircraft drop bombs and dog-fight in battles overhead. Troops and mounted infantry provide a very real and up-close portrayal of our troops on the ground, as they navigate the trenches and dodge bombs (provided by stunning pyrotechnics and special effects).
The Andrew Sisters Tribute Band provides another highlight, as do the military bands. There are rides for the kids, an ‘animals that went to war nursery’ and much more, that together provide an educational, inspirational and highly entertaining event.
With its Airfield and large Outdoor Education Centre, Emu Gully is an ideal venue. Emu Gully is located at Helidon Spa, near Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.

Thanks Kris
Great photos. Didn't know about it, it would have been good to see.
My old Dad told me that he used to take his horse along to the weekend LightHorse camps and do Tentpegging, when he was a young man in the early '20's, when the family was at Cambooya.

It would be the ILS at Launy.....in an Aerostar 
Soon you will have a different view, more like this....
Problem was this weather was associated with the winds shown here
How the ball and bug were somewhere near their targets surprises me, this must have been a lucky shot, was rough and slow......
