Not HF...but high gain UHF radio and Mobile Phone I would suspect.

Get a Bonza...Those things go straight in the back! (still have to pull the front wheel off though...and drain the oil & fuel:\:\ )

Jabawocky 20th Jan 2011 23:11

...........And cattle too! :ooh: So how do you drain the oil and fuel with them!:}

BEACH KING 20th Jan 2011 23:45

They are self-draining Jaba....as you well know.

You can drain all the fuel and oil you want, it's still hazmat, or Dangerous Goods if you prefer.

Chimbu chuckles 21st Jan 2011 03:47

As opposed to the fuel and oil in the Bonanza :hmm:

Was a time when we used to roll 2 full 200 litre drums of avgas/diesel/JetA into the back of 185s - 4 in the back of Islanders - 8 or 9 in the back of Twotters.

This is a much better way to carry a motor bike - a mate of mine (in his younger days) transports his bike to his new base.

A simpler time before the lunatics gained unfettered control of the asylum.:sad:

Hmmm, thought it was a sure thing jabba. That RV gets around a bit too much! And married life is going well:ok:

Peter Fanelli 21st Jan 2011 11:06

If they could find a better way to position that bicycle you'd have an extra passenger seat available.

Jabawocky 21st Jan 2011 11:10

It does indeed....a bit more than V Tails of late :E

Ah,yes, TriMedGroup,no other feeling than VFR stuck above overcast in a single engine aircraft as the sun is setting wondering if to start bleating on the radio about your predicament. :E

Nah,just joking.....they are beautiful photos.

TriMedGroup 22nd Jan 2011 03:11

IFR in a new 206, so legitimate but still a little disconcerting when the time comes to dive down into the black soup below!

Plow King 22nd Jan 2011 08:41

Not sure about the second, but the first would be Rainbow.

At a guess, I'd say the second one is somewhere in Western Victoria?

Karboolcha?
Agree it could be Caboolture Q, not a recent photo I suspect.

Jabawocky 24th Jan 2011 09:45

Why so Bentleg? looks recent enough to me. What features are you picking up on?

ForkTailedDrKiller 24th Jan 2011 09:48

Yeah Kabullture, I would recognise that dump anywhere!

Dr
:8

PS: And the refuse tip on the left hand side is pretty characteristic too!

rioncentu 24th Jan 2011 09:54

Looks like ycab but not enough lanes of traffic for my liking

morno 24th Jan 2011 12:10

Is most definitely recent Bentleg (yesterday). Best fun I've had in an aeroplane in a while. The Retard Vehicle ****s all over most other lighty's I've flown, :E.

morno

Chimbu chuckles 24th Jan 2011 13:24

As Jaba said earlier on skype "Old pic? That T shirt hasn't even hit the washing machine yet"

Not a bad machine is she Morno - could you understand how to start the fcking thing?:ok:

Whenever Jaba offers me the LHS I just stay "Thanks...start it for me will ya":E

Tiger35 24th Jan 2011 20:23

Hi Moreton Bay guys,

Have you flown out near Moreton Island lately?

Has the brown water reached the island yet?

Thinking of putting the nautical money burner in action for a run out to the Cape.

morno 24th Jan 2011 21:59

Chuck, I could understand how to start it.......... but I feckin couldn't! I eventually did, but only after we'd let the equivalent of the BP oil spill out on the ground in Avgas and let the thing sit for what seemed like an eternity.

There are more pics, I've just gotta try and find some that aren't incriminating, :}.

bentleg 24th Jan 2011 23:23

I recall an overbridge over the highway and junction thingy close to the threshold, but maybe its outside the cam view or I'm thinking of somewhere else.

PS - I accept the guidance of those more familiar with it and that the photo is current.

Super Cecil 24th Jan 2011 23:40


Yeah Kabullture, I would recognise that dump anywhere!

Dr :8

PS: And the refuse tip on the left hand side is pretty characteristic too!
I went to an airshow seems like a long time ago there. The usual stuff was on and as something went by there were some explosions over the tip side of the airfield. I said to my daughter that must have been terrorists trying to blow up the tip and missed. The bloke next to me with five cameras, a scanner and a copy of Australian rego's overheard me and said "It's part of the pyrotechnic display with the airshow". I thanked him for his knowledge. :D

slackie 25th Jan 2011 00:21

Even I recognise Cabulture (although I probably can't spell it), except when I was there it was blowing 40 parentless children and the air was decidedly hazy due to the bush fires!!

ForkTailedDrKiller 25th Jan 2011 00:51

Jabawocky 25th Jan 2011 01:15

He used the Conti fuel system technique.....:ooh:

I was wondering how that would go............:}

Yeah all good fun!

And Morno had no trouble with the power up and start sequence at all.....he now has the Retard Endo unlike you slack and lazy Cony drivers :E

VH-XXX 25th Jan 2011 01:50

I was gonna say that that looked like one of Jabba's token striped shirts but the comment about the photo being old threw me off a bit.

The FUEL system is not the hard part, it's the Dreamliner-like electrics in that thing that you need an endorsement for and that's just the multi-battery set-up let alone Barbara the auto-pilot chick.

Jabawocky 25th Jan 2011 22:36
