The Never Ending Story

In the Western District the best economic cycle for their meat production is to sow just enough seed to feed the stock through the dry season. At the end of the hey season there is a neat haystack on every farm. One of Turbo's neighbours had the longest paddock in the district, running beside the road for over a kilometres. It was only 150 metres wide but that's not the point.

The farmer was like someone who buys an aircraft kit and never finishes it, full of advice but never managing to solve the problem. In this case he had no stock, but everyone else had a haystack so he also cut hay and started building hay at one end of the Long Paddock as he called it. With no stock, the stack was still there next year. No bells rang and he sewed another lot of seed and the stack was extended next year. Turbo would drive past every summer to see this stack growing longer and longer.The farmer wasn't worried about the cost; he sold suspension bits for Falcons.

Eventually the ribbing from the neighbours stopped. He had the longest haystack in Australia, then the world. Some wag even put up a sign "BIG HAYSTACK: with two eyes painted at the end and a dot at the other.

One night somone lit it at the upwind end and the rest is history.

..... doing something that has never happened before in any State since Federation.

 

Loxie was seen sitting on a log in a rural setting, sharing a large, long glass of Pimm's No. 1 Cup (complete with a whole, and appropriately sized, cucumber [NTTIAWWT]}, and having a quiet + respectful chat with his CFA counterpart and agreeing to fully cooperate for the good of their local community.

 

"that will never happen" commented bull, who was very cynical, having witnessed the Qld and Tazzy eternal struggles between good and evil that is encompassed in the competition between the Metropolitan Fire Brigades and the Cuntry Fire Service, or whatever each are called in each State.

 

"see" said bull "the animosity transposes state boundaries, which just proves that they are born natural enemies, so i have no idea what robin of loxley is up to."

 

"I met him at the BOB" replied Ahlox "And before I was aware of his dark CFA side, and once I found the front cut out of his pocket, we were locked in a physical ......

As per Crappy's AI searches, it is now widely recognized that Turbo undertook his original flying lessons in the below Avro Anson just after they were released in '36.

 

The below photo shows the aircraft after Tubb had overstressed the airframe and lost a few panels. ("It was just a scratch" Turbo was famously quoted as saying (as he tweaked his magnificent moustache), an expression subsequently coopted by Elon after his latest rocket explosion).

 

Turdy's inability to fly coordinated, or to accomplish a wing-over without pulling 9 Gs, proved invaluable to the allied war effort, as it was then clear that if Turbo could fly it and get it back on the ground, the aircraft was certainly rugged and therefore suitable as a trainer for any similar unco that enlisted.

......pseudonym for Anmedsochtanistan (you can see why he had problems at loud parties) who was sent away to Karachi at the age of 7 to learn how to be a draughtsman.

 

He excelled in his school and could draught goats by the age of 9, at which stage his father Ahmed kicked him in the butt and showed him the location of the engineering campus. He quickly picked up drawing and had a mirror memory and the eye of an eagle so an aircraft only needed to fly over head and he'd have an exploded drawing done. His Pakistani airctraft designs were legend and one of them was the famous Anson.

 

Here we see the result of a bet down at the pub where Anson was asked to draw one with no glass.

 

Turbo's grandfather, Sanjay Turbine, who did all the test flying has framed Anson drawing showing it flying without wings. In many ways Anson was the forerunner of AI.

 

It was when he was designing the ........

.....the glass-less Anson, that someone asked, "Wouldn't that be a little breezy to fly?" Sanjay replied, "Yes, it is a little, but think of the improved safety levels, where the glass is eliminated! No more flying glass cuts!

And besides, most aviators love the feel of the wind in their face! And besides, I've invented a vastly improved set of goggles to go with the design, which will make flying it, so much more........

.... That is when my mate Al, the AI expert, transferred the results of the work that he did on the B2 bomber over to the Anson and with the aid of AI" Al said "With the B2 chips in 'em, the Anson now flies like a coordinated and stable dream."

 

"However" said Al to Anson, about AI "All of the Avro Ansons now want to fly to Iraq and they are demanding to be aerial refueled 3 times during every flight, so FMD" said Al with exasperation about the AI issues "There must still be some memory in the B2 chips that I still need to erase".

 

"That's nothing" said Anson to Al about the remnant AI issues "Those B2 chips also can't spell, and they think that they are mounted in an Afro Anson, so they are demanding reparations, and want an Afro haircut like Turbo had in the '60s, where .......

Thankfully, the trucking industry beat it (and the crap) out of him (but Turbs still wears those same glasses).

...he was carving a name for himself as a Folk Singer, and often stood in for Peter, Paul or Mary if they were off colour. Many preferred him to Mary.

Hower with the money he earned he put himself through University, majoring at Harvard in Fractional Electronics where, as we have just read somone could convert an old Avro Anson used as a chicken house for 75 years and convert it to the equivalent of a B2 bomber.

He  wasn't an extrovert like Werner Von Braun, he was descended from the German side of the family (his mother's first name was Germaine), and an introvert, but ....................

 

Turbo did have problems in the trucking industry where the dress code at that time was singlet, shorts and thongs. (This was when trucks were mostly driven by Poms who called them Lorries apparently not being familiar with trucks. Of course today trucks are driven by Indians who are better dressed.) Turbo would just give them a hot curry head dress.

......introverts and aircraft almost never mix well, as we all know that all pilots are showoffs behind the cool, cultured, unflappable, aviator sunglasses exterior.

But Turbo was a strange mixture of introvert and extrovert - a sort of "Jekyll and Hyde" figure, shall we say.

 

By day, he was an introvert, toiling over aircraft design and areodynamics problems that others failed to solve. But come night-time, and Turbo turned into one of the biggest aviation show-offs around.

 

"But hang on, I hear you say, how can one be an aviation showoff in the dark?" Well, Turbo's degrees extended to complex electrical design, too, and one thing he loved to do was outfit his aircraft with a scintillating lights display.

 

Turbo got his aircraft showoff lighting ideas from the time he spent in the trucking industry, where, as we all know, truckies just love to outdo each other with the number and placement of "chicken lights", and backlit truck make badges, and other glitzy, flashy lighting displays.

 

So, it came to pass, that Turbo's lighting decorations for his F6F Hellcat could dazzle any "Christmas Tree" truckie into pulling into the nearest truck bay in outright awe - even more so, when Turbo did a......
