"I always knew that Qld was a place where you go back 1 hour and 50 years as you step off the plane each summer, but I think it's a bit rich to consider WA along similar lines, where once you land & tie down at Jandacot, you plunge back 3 hours and 75 years (although Tubb always liked to listen to the Andrews Sisters impersonators at the Freo pub/house of ill repute that he always frequents.

onetrack Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Meanwhile, back at edge of the airstrip, while Onetrack and Takata-San were immersed in the more technological aspects of drones (with Turbs looking over their collective shoulders, as the maths and physics involved with hi-tech drones, was something he was struggling to grasp), there was a rush of wind, and a swishing and cracking of branches, as a glider dropped out of the sky, and made an untidy crash landing in the outer limbs of a large River Gum, whereby it promptly fell to the ground. Onetrack, Takata-San and Turbs gazed on, open-mouthed, as the canopy opened, and out stepped the Captain! "Claptain!! exclaimed Takata-San. "I thought you were going to klill yourself!! You are offlicially licenced for that thling, aren't you?? To onlookers, it looks like you tlaught yourslelf!!" "Licence?" exclaimed the Captain. "Of course, I've got an official-looking licence for it! I paid good money in brown paper bags for my licence, to the best-connected mates around! - the same way as you get licences and approvals for anything in New South Wales!" "It's been that way since 1788, so why would we change the system now? Anyway, who needs things like formal training and licences? These things are a cinch to fly! I just need to practise my landings a bit more, I've only done 2500 hrs in it so far, so I'm bound to get a landing right, eventually!" Meantimes, Turbs had disappeared to acquire a few litres of Jet-A1 drainings. He always kept a few litres on hand in the bathroom, and used it for aftershave, fully convinced that the fumes would attract any slashing-looking, big-breasted fly-girl he came within a few metres of, and trusting that the effect of the fumes on her would make Chanel No 5 look pathetic by comparison, and she would gravitate towards him like a 13 yr old schoolgirl gravitating towards a pop star. While the Captain was ruefully examining the crumpled composite of the glider, and thinking about how many brown paper bags of money this would cost, to avoid incident reporting, and to cover the cost of repair by Dodgy Bros Quick and Dirty Aircraft Repairs, there was .....

turboplanner Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 .....but time waits for no man and as Hosland was looking at his posterior there was activity in Cowra. The aircraft had been assembled, and while looking a little rag tag, it being necessary to use parts from several different models, they looked roughly like Corsairs. None of the pilots had flown a Chance Vought Corsair. “It’s just laik gitting on a Horse” said Fanie, “thar all the seim”. “Bullshut” said Eye Bolt. “Since no one else been in Naval battle, I will fly the first attack and prove tactics” said Nob. “How are you on your landings?” asked Arnie rather cruelly. “But you mussed the shep and that’s how you’re here” said Eye Bolt with that unique NZ diplomacy. As much as flying a Brumby at some hessian stretched along a road could be considered battle training, Nob judged they were ready and Turbo took them in his cruiser to the Captain’s Holiday Shack, which was difficult because Cowra wasn’t on the coast. They arrived just as the first Corsair was completed, and Nob decided he would do the start up in the dark, so another concert was organised by Soll Lee. The Corsair was rolled out on to the sand, and Nob started looking very serious; he’d managed to find his old Imperial Japanese flying suit, and the white head band marked by a red dot, representing the pilot’s contribution in blood for the emperor, and with the Japanese characters “Namba Wun” [Turbo warns international travellers to be careful of Japanese humour. He once travelled to Japan with a training group. The instructor explained the huge significance of the white head band and it was passed around for all to take their turn putting it on. “We will give to the winner with tea ceremony’ said the instructor. Turbo didn’t win that day but took a photo of the successful trainee with the historic head band on. When he returned to Australia and showed his photos to the resident Japanese they fell about laughing. “It say dickhead!” they roared.] Nobushi squinted his eyes, primed the engine, and pressed the starter, and the big13 feet 4 inch Hamilton prop began to revolve, and revolve, and revolve. “GIVE UT SOME FUEL” yelled Eye Bolt, and Nob could be seen furiously pumping. Suddenly there was a BANG!!!!! And fifty thousand Goony Birds rose from the small trees. “SSSSSHHHHHH!!

onetrack Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 ...Captain was just the man to see about them - seeing as he lived only a stones throw from the Kapooka Rifle Range stop butts - and there was little doubt he would be able to pick the lock on the Armoury, after hours. This lock-picking ability was a skill Captain was rightfully proud of, seeing as he was directly descended from the first convicts in NSW, coupled with some inbreeding from a certain number of well-known bushrangers of the Blue Mountains. Captain got excited about this gun-stealing adventure, it was quite a while since he'd been involved with anything important as busting into a military Armoury - well apart from that failed bank job, that he managed to blame on his illiterate bank robber companions. Captain whipped out a grubby notebook and pencil (actually, it was the back of his flying logbook, but no-one noticed) and proceeded to draw diagrams of the gun mountings. But Turbo had to explain to Captain, that the guns on a Corsair had to be specially fabricated for the Corsair, not just ex-Army SLR's attached with twitches of fencing wire, as Captain was proposing. "But what's wrong with fencing wire?", whined Captain - "It's held everything in the world together, long before duct tape and silastic came on the market!" But Turbo, as the senior member of the group, was not to be swayed, and he .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboplanner Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 ......but there was a grating sound and the whole apparatus slid to the ground. Turbo patiently explained that he had the gun and ammunition situation all under control but hadn't wanted to disappoint the Captain and Hosland, who had made a very good effort. “The guns used on the Corsair are no longer made and all the old WW2 guns were sold to the Japanese to be melted down to make Toyotas; they got us in the end.” he said. “I’ve managed to get M61 20 mm cannons, and they’re old enough to fit the Corsair mounts and there’s enough space to allow me to use a Honda generator for the power supply” Captain, already miffed, said “I’ve never heard of them!” “Well”, said Turbo, “they’re older than you. The M61 was built in 1946, first ground-fired in 1949. Went into service in 1959. In fact it uses patents developed by Richard Gatling in 1893. “It first went to war in F-100 Super Sabres in Vietnam, pulled out of them and fitted to the F104 Starfighter, pulled out of them and used in the F-4 Phantom II, the F111, the F15E Strike Eagle, the F16, and the F/A18 Hornet. “Although they spray a lot of lead they are notoriously difficult to set up for accurate fire, and around the time of the Sabres the armourers suggested to the US Defence forces that all aircraft should carry an armourer, and he should have command of the aircraft. The high command ruled this out on the grounds of too much risk, but decided the armourers should stay in service for life once they learnt how to re-calibrate the guns for accuracy, but the armourers are still bitching about not being in command, and some of them are in their late ‘90s.” “Where did you get the guns?” asked Hosland. If you go to Point Cook, replied Turbo, "you’ll see one on display, and if you look very closely you’ll see the grain of the balsa wood, and for the rest, let’s just hope the RAAF don’t decide to test fire their local Hornets, because…….

onetrack Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 ...."there are no longer any M61's on our Hornets??", gasped the Captain, his face going white. "Hang on!", he continued, the colour in his face now changing to a crimson red, as he addressed Turbo. "I see it all now!! You're nothing more than a fifth columnist!! - a paid-up member of the Chinese Communist Party!! - intent on single-handedly destroying Australia's Air Capabilities, whilst at the same time, pretending to be launching an attack on the Chinese Navy in the South China Sea!!! You're worse than a Japanese envoy spying on Australian defences in 1939!! You're a scoundrel of the lowest order, you unspeakable blackguard!!!" At that, the Captain whipped his 1856 Beaumont-Adams 54 bore revolver from his waistband, and pointed it at Turbo, seething with white-hot anger. I might add, this revolver was a family heirloom, originally owned by a Blue Mountains bushranger, whose name was always kept secret, because the Captains family didn't want the connection publically known. But they were always secretly proud of the bushranging tradition in their family, which they had gradually converted into brown-paper-bag influence peddling, rebirthing stolen cars, and internet fraud. This Beaumont-Adams revolver had been handed down, father-to-son, in the Captains family, until the Captain was gifted it. As a result, the Captain was rightfully proud of it, and produced it, whenever he felt outraged - which was fairly often. But Turbo's expression had changed rapidly. His eyes had narrowed, causing the Captain to be sure he had Oriental ancestry. And as Turbo's mouth twisted into a snarl, he said, "So! You think you've got me, do you??" And with that, he lunged forward, and knocked the revolver out of the Captains grasp. The Captain, shocked at the rapid turn of events, stepped back, and ....
