Brumby08

Looking for photos and information on a Pitts 2 seater that was rebuilt at Roma in the mid 80’s by a Rod O’Hara and the owner had painted black with a horse design on the rudder.

Rod’s son remembers having a flight in the aircraft with Barry Hemple as the pilot and is wanting to build a model of the aircraft, told him I ask for information here to try and help out.

Regards, Tony

That is our aircraft in the link above and your friend is more than welcome to talk to Paul or Phil about our aircraft, we are about to jump on a flight to Brisbane so will be out of touch a bit for the next couple of days

Happy to chat on email at [email protected] but will have limited access.

Regards Tony.

IBails,

I just checked the Brumby site and our video has been moved , The Owen Zupp test flight article on the Brumby site is our aircraft.

Tony

IBails,

We own 19-5364 which can be seen in the one of the promotional video at the Brumby site, this aircraft has been up dated with the bigger tail and late model cowlings and is currently at Brumby in Cowra.

It is fitted with the 3300 Jab and is potentially for sale due to knee issues making it near impossible for my wife ( also a pilot ) to get in and out of the aircraft, get in touch if you are interested initially thru this site.

Tony

All,

The 600 is a fantastic aircraft and inspired my wife to get her pilot certificate after we picked the aircraft up and flew it to Mt Isa, no doubt there are a lot of other good aircraft out there that I have not flown, but the other deciding factor for me would be that we have never been able to fault the service, the willingness to go that extra bit for the customers. We count the whole Brumby team as friends these days.

Michele & Tony ( Brumby 19-5364 )

Built by English Engineering and available as a kit from them.

Where are you now Brumby........Maj...

Brumby, I know of 3 decent private hangars at Innisfail (Mundoo) aerodrome. If you`re interested in Mundoo, talk to these guys. Carlo Prette and Ron Watson, both at Mundoo. Also worth talking to Bruce and his brother John Williams, they both fly and each has a hangar at Mundoo. Not sure how to get in touch with them but Carlo or Ron might know.Carlo Prete Flying School

That would be excellent and thanks for your response.

Tony.

Brumby, are you looking for something permanent or just to tie down for a couple of days?Frank.

We are looking for something permanent, I have taken up a role in Cairns and bought a house in Kewarra Beach and as both my wife and I fly we are now looking for a permanent base for the aircraft.

Looking for a spot to tie down or hanger a Brumby 600 in the Cairns area

Tony, may be I will have to obtain some hints from your wife for my colour scheme as I am finding it the most dificult part.

We have done 170 hours and the aircraft has been as far as Mount Isa in its travels, our aircraft is 19-5364 that is featured in the video on the Brumby site.

I have not flown the 610, the 600 is a beautiful thing to fly.

My wife designed the colour scheme on our's.

Tony.

hi. i am steve and i have just ordered a 610 brumby due in the mustering yard around November.does any one else have a brumby ?

Tony.

Christian,

We are living in Idalia, we both have ASIC cards, mobile number is 0427130721 or [email protected] will also find us.

Regards,

Tony.

Christian,

Let me know if I can help with any thing as far as the airshow goes, we have moved to Townsville, I realised I had not updated my address after I replied, but we will certianly be at the show and happy to help in any way.

Tony.

Christian,

I think it was the project aircraft owned by Dave Pruett in Sydney, it has since been on sold and exported to England ( I think ).

Regards,

Tony. A 85-448.

DennisA few of us are currently re openig the airstrip at bluewater, resealing the

runway and buildig hangers ect. We will be looking for as many people with

 

aircraft as possible in the near future.

 

Regards

 

Trevor

Tony.

Thanks guys, I will call the owner and see how we go.

Tony.

Guys, I am moving to Townsville to take up a new job and was looking to find out about basing our aircraft at Montpelier Airpark and if their is any hangar space available. This will happen in the next couple of months and any information would be appreciated.

Tony.

Guys, We own the aircraft featured in the video on the Brumby site 19-5364 and it has been a terrific aircraft. It was number 3 out of the factory and yes the undercarriage legs have been changed from the original design and all the aircraft since have the stronger legs. To me the best indication of how good this aeroplane is that my wife who had no interest in aircraft prior now has a licence and fly's on a very regular basis to the point of claiming the aircraft as her own.

Regards, Tony.

Guys, The Country Gardens is excellent, we always stayed there prior to moving down, but may already be booked so you probably need to book sooner rather than later, not sure about the bus !

Best Regards, Tony.

Geoff, I am sure I will be able to find a 44 some where around here.

Regards, Tony.

Geoff, You might want to check that fires will be allowed in the camping area ?

Regards, Tony.

Geoff, I will see what I can do.

Regards, Tony.

All, We are now resident in Cowra, so if we have the doors on the hangar by then we will throw them open and all are welcome to drop by and put some names and faces together.

Tony.
