Nahhh, too green for near Birdsville, too many tree's.

Southern NT, perhaps around the SA/NT border area??

TQ,

The fourth shot was taken at Normanton - last overnight stop on the ferry from Dili to Townsville.

Baffler

It was Hervey Bay, in a 152, CIF, hired from ADFA.

XXX Your first photo is Mornington Island. As for the A/C and rego, I have no idea. I'm more used to that sight out of the front of Metros or Bandits.

linedriva, which photo are you referring to?? If you're referring to VH-XXX's photo on the previous page, that's not Mornington Island, ;).

Bentleg; Somewhere along the Cooper Creek, not far from Nappa Merrie station?

Dig tree?

Never been there, but its on my list!

Bentleg
Looks like Durham Downs ?

Some good guesses but no-one (so far) is close. I'll give you a clue. It's in NSW.

Nothing at all like Durham Downs I'm afraid.

Bentleg:

To me it looks like the country around Bourke, the town should be on the right of the photo and the river is the Darling.

Tmb

We are getting closer. Yes it's the Darling :), but it's not Bourke :(.

Bentleg

Too small for Wilcannia

... How about either Tilpa or Louth? My money on Louth :8 :ok:

Horatio, your money is on the wrong horse! :E

Bentleg:

How about Brewarrina ?

Tmb

Pooncarie? Or one of those stations on a direct line YSWH YBHI?

Goonawarra?

Bentleg,

Somewhere near Coonamble???

Close Horatio. Well said Capt Fathom. Tilpa it is.

The original pic was taken overhead the field on upwind. About to do a circuit over the pub, so the publican can chase the roos away..... Great spot for a drink with the locals and overnight. Not much else tho.....

Bentleg:

Thanks for the Photos and the exercise of where is it!

The aerial shots show some of the advantages of a high wing aircraft for this type of work.

That sure was a low pass to get that shot of the Tilpa Hotel :hmm:

"The aerial shots show some of the advantages of a high wing aircraft for this type of work"

Yes, you get a whole different perspective from a low wing aeroplane!

Too easy!
The Comet.

Comet....yeh I got that too (filename), and I don't even know where that is!!:}

It's got high vis roundels and AIM-9s on the wingtips, so it's pre-2003...

I don't recognise the field - Perhaps MCY for CHOGM, or maybe Nowra for when George W visited a few years back?

Hey Doc, can you fix up your photos in 2166 and 2169? I want to have a look!:ok:

Standby ABX! Don't know what happened there - I think my sub must have run out. Will look into it.

DONE !

Dr :8

PS: I'm surprised 2166 hasn't attracted a few comments!

I tried to get a reaction.....

Correct - I am a PRUNE. Right click on the picture and you get the title.

Currandooley is a private airstrip near Lake George in NSW.

The F/A18 was in fact assigned to CHOGM at it is MCY - late February 2002 for a media event. It was not landing or taking off but a fly past for cameras.

:\

Ok Where are these?

I was going to bite Doc, but there's no supporting evidence of a wheels-up-whoopsie...

Anyway Jaba wasn't convincing enough!:E
Nice timing with the photo though Jaba.:ok:
