Gippsland Aeronautics and the Bushfires
Anybody know how the folks at GA have fared with the fires?

I was wondering about that myself. Great to hear they never suffered the same misfortune as many others. 
in case people are intersted, the airfield was never in any danger of the fires. the closest fire was the churchill fire and that was still a good few km's up wind of the airfield
While on the subject of airfields and aircraft under threat by fire recently, does anyone know the outcome of the private strip at Kinglake? I believe that a Yak, Ce 180 and some other aircraft are based there.

Fullboost,
assuming we're talking about the same people (the Yak is a 2-seater?), they are fine, as is the property.
Fire burnt across the runway, slowed, and stopped short of the buildings.
Wonderful things, runways; act as fire breaks and are immune to road blocks...
