The Never Ending Story

"Oo!, it's small!" she said when they reached the airfield, "is this a model plane?" HH was understandably upset at this jibe, and was half inclined to.....

…...….. this seemingly innocent couple of posts in the NES created a movement led by HiHo to bring back the AUF.

Protest groups were organised to glue themselves to the roads with dope from old Drifter kits, or left-over yellow resin and hardener from old Jabiru builds.

Rotax 2 strokes were rejuvenated all over the country in retirement villages by crusty old AUF types.

All AUF members wore ex-WW2 flying suits with captain's epaulettes, like the ex president dill used to, and there was guerilla warfare in the streets of Moorabistan as the RAA Plastic flyers used IUD's (see example below) to attack AUF members who were peaceably going about their business.

As was last week the case in Iraq, everyone was in fear of a drone attack as both sides had been down to the Toys-R-Us Xmas sale and bought hundreds of cheap drones (& typically for these flyers (avref), they were unlicensed), with which to ……….

A lot of the Nannys thought that was a pretty good deal too & sales of flanelette bustiers went thru the roof.

Meanwhile membership of the revived AUF also went thru the roof, although almost all were over 75, paid their membership with pension cheques and remembered "the good old days", but had trouble remembering last week.

As a result, Bunnings ran out of Thruster certified aluminium tubing and rotax pistons were like hen's teeth, although ......

....there were found, some ancient, only slightly rusty, time-expired crankshafts and reduction gears, which most of the ancient AUF fliers thought too good to discard.

But all the old fliers wanted to know more about the THPB. It sounded like a brilliant invention. You could have a Drifter loaded up with 2 x 500 lb bombs and when you attached the THPB, the AUW came back to 300kgs, making them fully legal, and neither CASA nor RA-Aus could say a thing.

"We're gonna need these, in decent quantities", opined one crusty old flier. "It's becoming patently obvious, with the reliability of the F-35's being suss, and the F/A-18's becoming obsolete - and with another Middle-Eastern stoush brewing, thanks to Trump the Warmongerer - they're gonna need a fleet of armed Drifters, flown by grumpy, cranky old blokes with a grudge against Muzzie nutters".

"Just imagine, we could all descend on a Muzzie nutter base in numbers like a horde of March flies, and whack the crap out of them! They'd have every single one of their AA equipment and missiles tuned to greet armed drones and F-35's - but a fleet of armed Drifters would be the Shock & Awe we need to render them totally impotent within minutes!"

"But, but....", croaked another crusty old flier, "What about the required toilet stops every 50NM?".

"It'll be alright", said another, "We'll just hold on, and piXX on them too, when we drop the bombs!! They won't know what hit them!!"

"Hang on", said Turbo, "We could have a problem here. No-one's got enough........

and launch a right royal commission

that'll keep the Muzzie nutters something to .......

......think about.

And so the Drifter Royal Commission, headed by ex Barrister, Sir Lunchalot Steakus SC began.

The Committee For The Homeless gave evidence for three days about the plight of the homeless, which began to irritate Sir Lunchalot, who asked "Why don't they just buy a house, then they wouldn't be homeless?" and sat back looking satisfied with themselves.

The CFT responded with "Because the Centrelink won't pay for a house", "and they're related to CASA, you know", and a surprising number in the audience nodded.

The Mazda Car Club Drifters Inc. spent four days complaining that the Federal Government hadn't built enough Drifter tracks around Australia. "For Example, there's no track in Wyong" claimed their representative, and Sir Lunchalot looked at the clock.

Backpackers Australia's Waffleon Splatt SC read a thesis for four days on the importance of subsidising more backpacker slums so drifters could travel around Australia on Harleys as Carers and there was enough left over from pooled Centrelink payments to buy the rellies hogs and take them too.

After three months of hearing from various bodies, Sir Lunchalot closed the RC and announced that a report would be submitted to Government in about two years time, but he felt it was important to reassure the poor and destitute of Australia that they would be looked after and......

....... while all at the RC look pleased & touched each other affectionately, The Age, The Sydney Mourning Herald, the ABC & the Greens, as they did with the live sheep & cattle export trade, paid photographers to infiltrate the hidden, filthy, desease ridden & sexually charged world of retirement villages ...... to expose the plight of senior citizens (some were even veterans who had served their country) without the means to complete their Drifter Kits.

"I've paid taxes as my life" said Clarry when interviewed by 4 Corners.

"This is a disgrace" commented Alan Jones when the issue featured on Q&A (Alan didn't disclose his 30 years of AUF membership at that time), but nevertheless the RC was reopened with bull given a $400,000 per year gig as Council Assisting and Mavis was paid $200 K to refill the water jugs).

The opening remarks by bull SC (and no, that is not an abbreviation for Silly XXXX) stunned the nation when he outlined ......

...how bone had been a thriving town in the gold rush days until a descendant of Captain Cook (and we all know that person very well)  started a still out on a sugar cane farm safe from prying eyes, and sold his "whiskey" to the miners. Eventually they all became so drunk that mining ceased, and the Queensland Government went over to the Solomon Islands and brought back Knackers to work the mines because Queensland was broke and needed the money.  Of course CC fed the Knackers his whiskey, and the Goverbment had to ship them all back again.

bul SC continued outlining the history of Queensland in a similar strain of honesty for another four days, until Sir Lunchalot bcame testy and said "Get to the point bull!", and bull said "All we want to do is fly our drifters!"

Sir Lunchalot retorted "Mazdas can't fly you fool!", and that got bull into full song with a capital C.

"Here!" said bull and showed a video of a Drifter doing loops, wingovers, beach beatups and landings, and cut the ribbon competitions.

"What's you're problem then?" asked Sir Lunchalot.

"I fly with RAA and our Ultralights are being squeezed out"

"No they're not" replied Sir Lunchalot, "I lunch with your chief frequently and he is pushing for more Cessnas, and...................."
