Went down to the Lethbridge Toy Run today and was lucky to meet up with some forum members and see some great aircraft - some happy snaps

Looks like it was a pretty good day, definitely a range of aircraft to look at.

 

That biplane in pic three is nice, what is it?

Tomo...it is a Murphy Renegade Spirit: Renegade Spirit experimental aircraft, Renegade Spirit experimental lightsport aircraft, Renegade Spirit homebuilt aircraft, Renegade Spirit amateur built aircraft, Lightsport Aircraft Pilot News newsmagazine.

 

Donkey...I left at about 2:15 and the Mustang was still on the ground then...awesome noise as they flew over and came in

 

 

[Tomo]

Thanks Ian, but I was actually thinking of the little cream coloured one, Reg 1968

Tomo...not sure what it was or if it even flies...the machine guns on the top look the part - Jim (Spriteah) will know

 

Donkey...isn't the rule that you have to be 100 mile from it...you would come close wouldn't you? Is it 100mile direct line or would flying around the bay adding all those miles count? I got it once but had to go to Sydney to get it.

Tomo, Its a 7/8th scale Nieuport. A bunch of my mates have just accuired one and are in the process of getting it airworthy. Google them.

 

Cheers, Qwerty

not sure if it is straight line , but yesterday the inbound leg (ltv-tqy-led) was 134nm and the outbound (led- altona- station pier- carrum-ltv) was 129nm.

Nice...Good luck mate - hey, why didn't we meet up and say g'day at the Toy Run?

Thanks Qwerty, quite a nice little machine, and the performance is pretty good for its era.
