Here's a reply.

It used to be owned by The Kite (prune handle) and another fellow but I know The Kite has since sold his share and is building a kit helicopter in Caloundra to try and kill himself in. It may still be up there or it may not be.

No idea of the rego or owner. Saw it a few months back doing what looked alot like aerobatic jollies for tourist/ corporate team building types. Didn't get the chance to ask. Was thinking (if it's available) a few laps in the 'chang on the weekend would be a good way to "de-charter". DIY or not...

The last time I saw it, it was a pile of ash on the Batchelor strip after an EFATO.
Haven't heard if it's been replaced yet. Would like to know.

There is a Harvard operating out of the Warbirds Hangar.

The Yak - 52 VH-MKT is alive and well

Hi All,

The Yak - 52, VH-MKT is currently full of fuel and at the rear of the 'Aviation Toy-Box' (hangar) at MKT south of Darwhine...it flew just two weeks ago but sadly most of the syndicate are too busy flying other things .... AAh the 'dry' is here methinks and time for some aeros.

A Harvard ?? Or a Trojan

The Trojan belongs to one NB of LAME fame...it flew last night just before last light. Even landed at MKT a few weeks back.
