......reckon it's the starboard wing off an F-86 Sabre, as to the rest......

Definitely not UK. The roundabout sign is in the wrong direction.

Aileron doesn't look correct for a Sabre. Buggered if I know what it is though.

Spanish use the Fiat Jet?

I take it back. A little Googleing has taught me that there was an 'Extended Wing' version of the F-86 where the ailerons don't extend all the way to the wingtip.

Couldn't tell you where that one is though.

Super Cecil... It can't be the Fiat, as it lacks wing fences.

Everything I can find says F-86F with the 6-3 wing

A nice little strip, close to town in Gippsland. A little surprised it's still there with people often complaining about strips near their properties. They must have an aviation friendly council.

Little River is still usable, must be dry winter.

Nice picture. The council cannot stop someone having a private strip on private property, either can the neighbours.
A public aerodrome would be a different matter.

Uncle8 I wish you were right, but sadly you aren't, at least in this end of the woods...

I have some experience in these matters and it has been discussed on here before. It's a bit OT so pls ck pms.

I'm not sure how its possible to hold a position that councils don't require consent for airstrips on rural zoned land.

All councils operate under local environment plans which is written into the law of NSW. To my knowledge only two LGA's in NSW dont require consent for airstrips. Other states may be different. Here's Albury council's requirements for example:

Zone RU1 Primary Production

1 Objectives of zone

• To encourage sustainable primary industry production by maintaining and enhancing the natural resource base.

• To encourage diversity in primary industry enterprises and systems appropriate for the area.

• To minimise the fragmentation and alienation of resource lands.

• To minimise conflict between land uses within this zone and land uses within adjoining zones.

2 Permitted without consent

Environmental protection works; Extensive agriculture; Home-based child care; Home occupations; Intensive plant agriculture

3 Permitted with consent

Bed and breakfast accommodation; Dual occupancies; Dwelling houses; Extractive industries; Farm buildings; Farm stay accommodation; Group homes; Intensive livestock agriculture; Landscaping material supplies; Open cut mining; Plant nurseries; Roads; Roadside stalls; Rural workers’ dwellings; Secondary dwellings; Any other development not specified in item 2 or 4

4 Prohibited

Air transport facilities; Amusement centres; Camping grounds; Car parks; Caravan parks; Cemeteries; Child care centres; Commercial premises; Correctional centres; Crematoria; Depots; Eco-tourist facilities; Educational establishments; Entertainment facilities; Exhibition homes; Exhibition villages; Freight transport facilities; Function centres; Health services facilities; Heavy industrial storage establishments; Home occupations (sex services); Industrial retail outlets; Industrial training facilities; Industries; Information and education facilities; Livestock processing industries; Marinas; Mooring pens; Mortuaries; Passenger transport facilities; Places of public worship; Port facilities; Recreation facilities (indoor); Registered clubs; Residential accommodation; Respite day care centres; Restricted premises; Service stations; Sex services premises; Storage premises; Tourist and visitor accommodation; Truck depots; Vehicle body repair workshops; Vehicle repair stations; Warehouse or distribution centres; Wharf or boating facilities; Wholesale supplies

Define "Air Transport Services";)

So, it is prohibited to run an Airline!:O

'Air transport facilities" .... includes an airstrip

A better example would have been any of those LEP's which require consent for airstrips, but you can see, its written into legislation.

If there is a way to eliminate council's authority in this area I'd be very interested to hear of it.

In Victoria, and I think the rest of Australia, council permission is not required for the land owner to operate his own private fixed wing aircraft ( I've heard that helicopters are different) from his own private land. The constitution and Harley Davidsons have been mentioned in this regard.
In my experience, it is hard to get this ruling from the council, perhaps because they lack experience in this area, but when tested, the outcome has been proven to be as above.
I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has tried this and been stopped.

There is no doubt that permission is required to start up any sort of aerodrome which might be open to the public or involve many different aircraft.

This has been discussed before google legal question flying from private property.
