  1. Yes but better than hitting a tree with the nose. The other thing I was taught was if you aren't going to stop before the fence, building, trees ground loop it. About 15 years ago someone did that in a Jab; the Jab was too light to break the fence down but the wing collapsed until the fuselage hit the fence. The pilot got out with a broken arm.
  2. That's what I was taught to do in a forced landing involving trees, sheds, big rocks - concentrate on the gaps, break the wings off to slow you down. Also I was taught the technique of forced landing into a canopy of big trees, but I've fogotten what it was. These days I see a lot of posts using the term Outlanding which, with the glider's controls like air brakes, is quite a different experience to something with a heavy engine confusing the issue and a glide like a brick by comparison.
  3. VERY GOOD Skippy; now that can go in the events section unless there's a demarkation issue. Is that you promoting it with a dance?
  4. ...wash its hands of the affair since the bow of the trawler had pushed through the front doors of Customs House and was now in the office of the Third Assistant Secretary of Customs; a cushy job handed to Damian from Canberra secretly by his father Sir James Framlingham Track. Damian who had his handicaps also was very cunning and he called in his Customs Officers and ordered a search of the vessel. "They must be trying to hide something he said, looking up at the aircraft deck now sitting in Davey St." That's all he needed to say; his troops were all required to spend a six months stretch with CASA, so they decided to do a ramp check. Once they got through the miles of longline, they started picking up all sorts of appliances, tobacco, groceries branded Woolworths but with small print on the cartons "supplied by Turbine Agriculture, Calabria." Something had to be done.......................
  5. .....the throttle wide open and headed straight for the dock. Later, in the Tasmanian Royal Commission, Captain Bull said he was going for a "dry" landing prior to cleaning the keel, but the Hon Clifford C. T. Banks KC pointed out that he had hit a Morris Oxford and a late 1976 Torana, and they were operating within their lanes and neither were speeding. However, the Hon Alastair Cook KC argued that they were both unregistered (a common practice in Tasmania) and the Judge found them guilty and awarded costs to Capt B. and saluted him. The Hobart City Council now had to .....................
  6. Big crowd on a hot day indicates the PR, Advertising was correct for the show.
  7. The thread is about advertising of the lack of it.
  8. ......not sure of all the other roads, trains, trams etc.
  9. .....was flying all over the country with a box of Kellogs cornflakes, a spoon and a bowl. H managed to convert thousands of little Australians to the excitement of eatiing his products and they taught millions more. But he itched to get up front there and CONTROL it, so he was looking forward to his coffee with Tasmanian bull who at the moment was coming in fast to Constitutional Dock; in fact a little too fast, as tourists........................
  10. .....and the signs on EastLink pointing at 40,000 vehicles a day.
  11. ......drop in to the Salamanca Bizarre Coffee Shop and we'll set up a plan. Charlie was amazed at the poise and clear thinking of this man. He'd always been impressed by Cessnas even though he'd never seen one; Charlie travelled First Class and with no one except ...................................
  12. ....used to get into step and marh across the road. Then they'd turn around and march back, hour after hour. You Johnny Lenon, aged three used to sit by the road making mud pies and watching them, and when the Beatles formed copied them in an Album picture which became famous around the world. Unlike today, they had no idea what a Corn Flake was and ............
  13. .......that these four people started out as Russian KGB spies, but got bored with dropping letters in letterboxes and wearing poisonous hand cream, and really wanted to be poms. This didn't happen often; millions had flowed the other way to Australia, Canada, USA, Barbados and India where they proceeded to correct all the local speeches and customs until they were ................
