  2. ..s .But than he had a brainstorm,He , hit the spoilers ,so with the flick of a switch down went the bait and a big barra started eyeing off his bait,than just as it was about to strike a rat came flying across the creek,dove into the water grabbed the bait and started fleeing to the other side.Now bull was fishing in his custom made boat{old set of floats off a drifter with a 250 yamy on the back]so he turned the boat around and gave it full throttle.Talk about laugh,it was the funniest thing he had seen[since seeing Turbo in his fishnet stocking of course]all he could see was a tail sticking up out of a big bow wave and a big gold tooth as the rat was looking backwards at the big barra that was now chasing him......

    g,day flying ,I,ve seen several wrecks from the ww2 conflict in australia and png as i am a commercial fisherman and have fished over there,in Qld at an island just north of cooktown called Low Wooded island is a b26 called steak and eggs which i researched to find out had crashed at seven mile airstrip in Port Morsby.The engineers rebuilt this plane{they where aussies so it was pinched from the yanks]to use for runs to cairns for fresh veges meat and beer it crashed on the island after leaving cooktown airfield where it had refueled with a full load of beer .The local from cooktown enjoyed this manna from heaven. not much left now just wing and a small piece of fusalarge also two radials in the sand. it is located on the north west sand spit easy to find.Another find is at Margeret Bay on the north of cape york,this is the wrecks of three p39 that ran out of fuel going to png one on the mud flats in the bay itself is still in one piece but badly corroded.Also on Horn Island in the Torres Straights is several wrecks /hudson wirraway b25 C47 b17 3 of these zero p40,s .At Bamaga on the tip of cape york is a c47 and several boufort bombers ,at Weipa 40 miles south of the harbour there used to be 2 p47 thunderbolts on the dunes behind the mangroves but i think they where recovered in the 90,s,there are more aircraft all over the top end nt/wa Darwin aviation museum has several wrecks diplayed also if in darwin at stuart park as you drive into the city on your right is a school turn right just past this school than first on your left drive along this road for two hundred meters and look over to your right ,you will see a storage yard for the museum full of radials airframes/pieces gun turrets wings etc you can walk right over to the fence up close.Hope this helps you and i know off several more wrecks in png and Daru island that i have seen and visited [not rumours they exist] email me @ [email protected] if you want to talk more ok cu SCOTT.

Hi all well after more research,i,am still none the wiser .I found photos of the jackaroo and the winton cricket and a winton cricket clone made by Arther Amour on the net and all these aircraft and the tyro all have very similar characteristics only difference i can see so far is the squared off tailplane on the tyro2 but the photo of the winton cricket and the clone both have the short stubby wings single solid struts and back of wing wire braceing now i,m really confused any help would be great thanks

     

     

  8. Hello david,not much known about the airframe ,was powered by 447 but i brought it without an engine .I,ve checked out geoff eastwoods page but can only get info on tyro 2.The aircraft came with minimal history,no log books, no data sheet and it has a fixed small nose wheel even though it is a taildragger.I brought the tyro from a fellow in merreba qld came in custom made fully enclosed trailer has not flown for over ten years, fabric on flight sufaces tested ok and had my old instructer Carlo pretti [he,s a lame ] check it out,say,s it,s still ok.cannot find any history on web or photos.I would like to find out where i go from this point ie. data sheet rego reccomended power plant etc any help would be great .ps thanks for the info mipinaus.
