P&W sunset...
 
Perfect..dry season sunset on the balcony of Chez tin, bottle of icy cold Pinot Gris woobla juice, and the throb of MMA doing lazy circles overhead...ahhhh....round engines....... :ok:

Should be a government subsidy for it to happen every sundee...

Per Chance I was in Darwin on Sundee too. The sunset was perfect, the sound of MMA made it better!

Tinny, 'twould be money well spent.

Well done John & family!

Nothing like the simple things in life cold beer, warm day and the sound of round engines overhead!

Keep up the good work VH-MMA and the Hardy family.

Did Sydney Harbour Seaplanes replace or re-engine one of their aicraft? I thought they used to all be radial DHC-2s, but now there seems to be a turbine one.

She looks better in the air

She's a gorgeous beastie Tinpis :ok: Hope she's being well looked after in her active retirement!

Crosshair: was down there a couple of weeks ago... didn't see any Turbine Beavers, although they do have a Caravan on amphib floats getting around. Would be a helluva thing to see a Turbine Beaver though... any more info?

bottle of icy cold Pinot Gris
I thought you'd get strange looks in the Territory with a comment like that?

Pinot doesn't come in stubbies now, does it? :ok:

What's the state of MMA now and are there any plans to get her airborne again?


No apologies for this thread drift, over in Canada and History & Nostalgia forums.

That post was an impressive thread resurrection... over 10 years! A timeless thread, not unlike the DC3.

Hmmm.....but as for Mr Tinpis....was thinking of him about a Month back whilst I was in Denmark (No Idea Why!!).....is he still 'with' us?

I believe he is. I tried to call him on the phone a couple of times but no answer. I would like to think he is OK and with us.

From what I can see he last visited PPRuNe only four months ago on 14 September 2018 but his last post was 1 January 2016.

If you are watching Tinnie, best wishes to you me Ol' Wantok!!! :ok: :}
