Main strip is around 1800m's 737's operate into strip lengths shorter than that, Ballina NSW is same length, Port Macquarie is 1650ishmand in any event you wouldn't need a full fuel load to get from there to ADL....

Might have been a thump of a landing and they know something we don't.

But it does show the huge safety benefit of leaving the big WW2 aerodromes alone and reserved for just such an emergency.

And yes, it does demonstrate the importance of the old wartime strips and there aren't many of them left offering such facilities.

Bravo the Pilots!

As a very regular flyer I am glad and gives me confidence that they have the training to have such a good outcome.

If Steve Whitman... and Jim Bede designed a plane together Im sure it would of looked like this in the 70s.. I like it.

Ha, I was just about to write; "So someone made a sports version of a BD4..."!

Glue some stiff foam ribs across the drumming areas??

A blonde walks into a bar .......

Actually she wouldn't have walked into the bar if she hadn't been looking at the dish washing detergent bottle she was carrying that had written on the label "concentrate" .....

me but alas, at 95 Kgs, and 6.4

& register it GA.

There's plans for them all over the net.

Thanks again

I'd love a late 70s Yamaha XS Eleven....

That I did my first apprenticeship working on them with at Rod Linden Yamaha in Frankston.

What good would it do anyone,surely it will be seen,seems a little strange

Sometimes, and I emphasise sometimes, people do similar things to get out of hock.

Also I did the first taxi tests today in the Avocet , actually I'm real nervous about flying it again , ( I spose that's a good thing , Hay ?)

back in the 80's, I owned an e-type jag as well as a '59 MGA, paid very little for them and didn't get much back. .

I just don't see it in an old rotting plane of no consequence. The Ercoupe for sale here is an example of something collectable.

I blame the magazines such as Just Bikes etc.

No not those models!! Airplane models!

These look quite nice and seem reasonably priced ....

I'm curious as to why someone thinks a rotting old featureless 1958 airplane without engine is worth $15,000 when I think it's worth $500 as a kids playground feature?

Is there some restorers market thing going? Is this a "Classic" (cough, cough) and of some value? just trying to understand, nothing more.

Is he a fair minded Guy Ian?

Thanks guys!

Simple enough question, does anyone know "Cliff" the plane wrecker in Nerang? I have no idea private or professional.

There's a guy advertising lots of engines and plane stuff on Gumtree in "Nerang, Gold Coast West", lots of old crap but there's a few things of interest to me.

That's so stupid I laffed!

5 minute warning.

Anyway, the mold company are getting along nicely with my finalised crankshaft housing design.

Last trip was 2005 and I stayed in Milwaukee and drove up each day.

You will find some of the members going here ......

Just want to say if any of you out there don't know Wimp.com then make your way there and look around, it's almost always upbeat inspiring videos or science or other more mature and intelligent stuff.

Of course that means I don't understand most of it but there's some pretty pictures!

Im sorry to inform you, I was an Embalmer for 14 years

I got a tree tattoo and they mix with planes occasionally ....

Shame when it comes to an end isn't it.
