None of my five children has shown an interest. They are much better than I was at family things, bicycle riding or hiking with their children, playing computer games with them. No interest in special cars or aviation. But in America, if I believe the EAA, there are hundreds of cross-generation teams building RVs or restoring rag and tubes together.

The RAA market pages are down to a couple of handfuls of aircraft, from the 40 plus that used to be. The ones advertised there seem either overpriced or low hours but years timex engines. Meanwhile, a couple of relatively new dealers are turning over quite a few at the higher price end. Aussie exchange rate has recovered a bit. How do you see this going over the next 1 -5 years?

CGI = can't get interested

Mead Challenger C3 glider - do I win a non intended challenge?

I watched the episode and was really annoyed that the people involved were all played as fools. This will become the historical memory for young Australians. The truth is that a lot of dedicated, hard working people did their best under very difficult circumstances. If there were fools, they were in Whitehall but not in boots on the ground.

I am in hospital (again)and this cheered me up a lot.

Agree

They were operated out of the UK to Europe by Silver City Airways. That company was formed by the Broken Hill mining companies to fly directors around. The company was sold and the new operator had the Bristol Freighters.

You are over-egging your answer.

Either the Gladiator or the Defiant. I will go with the Bolton Paul Defiant.

That is the same sense of frustration that I get from Guess This Aircraft. Quite a few hours wasted, determination is not enough!

It is quite unfair to accuse mining of acceptable deaths. It’s actions in OHS have been outstandingly successful in my lifetime. And it was the first industry to apply rigorous drug and alcohol testing on sites.

But the problem is that when water is distilled, or “stripped,” of its minerals and impurities, the resulting solution is composed of chemically imbalanced “ions.” This leaves distilled water “ionically hungry,” so it will actually strip electrons from the metals in a cooling system as it attempts to chemically re-balance itself. As it chemically removes electrons from the metals of cooling system components, distilled water eventually does extreme damage that could lead to cooling system failure. Why You Should Never Use Distilled Water in Your Cooling System |

Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid. This is important to every living thing on earth. It means that wherever water goes, either through the air, the ground, or through our bodies, it takes along valuable chemicals, minerals, and nutrients. - USGS

Pure water wants to dissolve anything. If you put it in an engine it dissolves metals and such. It needs to have carefully selected ions in it to stop it being so hungry and aggressive.

Wasn’t that Simon Templar's car? BTW I think you are right,

Huntly apparently fuel exhaustion and a precautionary landing in a soft paddock.

Had to work in the back yard all day on essential maintenance. I was distracted by an aero engine every half an hour, by far the most I have heard in months. I was quite envious.

Tim, similar story. Stage 3. Month in hospital, six months chemo, still flying. Good luck, Peter.

Skies were buzzing here today. Even saw two friends in little tail draggers flying loose formation over my head.

I watched a video on the history of the Corsair and they stated it was for prop clearance.

If it is not a variant of a Farman or an Otto then it has got me beat. Perhaps those are twin jet engines behind the pilot ?‍✈️

My biggest risk was in a CB 72 Honda that used to show 90 mph but was probably 75, but the risk was because it was pre helmet laws and I didn’t use one.
