Romsey Aeroclub -VIC

Hi Guys,

Travelled through Romsey in Victoria, located approx 40km to the north of Tullamarine. Noticed a little aeroclub on the outskirts. Anyone know much about it? A web search reveals nothing.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Google YRSY Romsey should help :-)

I'm not a pilot so can't comment personally but I suspect Philthy may be able to help a little.

The airstrip I used to ride my BMX out to most weekends just so i could peer through gaps in hangar doors. Many, many moons ago!

I remember a Chippy and a Harvard with the Channel 9 logo on the side hangared there.

Last time I was back in town the aeroclub was looking very worse for wear, any better these days? Many aircraft based there?
