Beautiful, love your work. Looks like you have enough there for a DC3 calender now. I'll have one please!
|
AND they're probably only the ones he still has. He gave me one that isn't here.

What about having a crack at that DC3 flogging around Aus on survey
It has an Anglo insignia on the tail, what looks like camouflage paint scheme from a distance and turbine engines. Heard it going into Kalgoolie then a couple of weeks later, Rocky It has a foreign callsign |
AS
What is that pitot looking bit on the snout of one of them, it fases backwards? Awesome work yet again! :ok: |
From memory, it is a VHF or VOR antenna. When transponders first came out, they initially put the antenna in a similar position. All was ok inbound to radar, but when departing, radar could not pick up transponders :(
ps. like your master pieces. Excellent work. :ok: |
You just gotto love a DC-3, love your paintings, I just finished another
|
You've both gotta get web sites so that we can see all of them when we get maudling after a few shiraz and think back at the good life that we have had (yes, I'm out of it due to age) in the industry!!!
|
Thanks folks for your compliments. As I live and paint by myself,sometimes I'm the only one who sees the paintings(my grown up sons and daughter-in-law occasionally come by but really aren't interested in aviation art).
Sixties.. I had to cull my DC3s. So many!! Megle2....to me,putting turbines in a DC3 is like sticking red laminex on an antique Queen Anne cedar table. It may be practical,but IT.IS.WRONG !! Jaba....The Air Queensland DC3s had a DME aerial stuck under the nose. Must have been a reason. It spoils the look of the nose I think. Cacsabre...love your work. You must have BIG display cases. Can't imagine the hassle of dusting them. Animal....Cacsabre and I are waiting for you to open 'The Aviators Bar and Grill' so we can decorate it with our hobbies. Here is something only us oldies will remember "Airmove priority call. Could I have Bankstown 4073295,please" |
Great works Al! :ok:
I particularly liked "Foggy Departure" - very evocative of early mornings at Essendon. |

Then when the operator stuffed around so long that you passed your SAR time, you had to tell 'em now it's an AIRFLASH priority call and explain THAT to 'em.
Happened to me a couple of times when training out at Mt Isa when Cloncurry FS got skipped over on HF and we were too low for VHF. |
I just moved down to Melbourne last weekend and was sitting at a set of lights this morning near Essendon airport. Essendon airport kind of creeps up on you if you aren't a local. You drive past on the Tullamarine freeway, glance over to your left and suddenly realise there's an airport there. Anyway, I was sitting at the lights, just off the freeway and glanced over to my left and there was a DC3 the other side of the freeway.
I thought that was pretty cool, since I haven't seen a DC3 in ages. Then I get back to our accommodation and the first thing I see on PPRuNe is Alan's DC3 pics. Coincidence or fate? I think I'm going to have to buy a few paintings when I'm next in Brisbane. The aircraft was TMQ by the way. |

Have I got a deal for you. The Queensland Air Museum can help with your storage problems. Your model of VH-ANR would look a treat on display with the 1:1 scale version. Same goes for your paintings Aye Ess. Rgds |
