  1. 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?
  2. ...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.......................
  3. .....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 .....................
  4. Big crowd on a hot day indicates the PR, Advertising was correct for the show.
  5. The thread is about advertising of the lack of it.
  6. ......not sure of all the other roads, trains, trams etc.
  7. .....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........................
  8. .....and the signs on EastLink pointing at 40,000 vehicles a day.
  9. ......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 ...................................

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 ............
  11. .......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 ................

  13. ......Opium Den in Cabramatta with a Great Dane, Bloodhound, three Caboodles and a CASA FoI Operative, all dressed in Drag. Hauntingly there was the shadow of Cappy in the background. He'd painted himself in greenscreen but couldn't hide the eyebrows or teeth. Doubtfire knew what to do.......................

  15. When you listen out for the ATIS QNH and dial it in and I’m cross-country inbound and listen out for the ATIS QNH and dial it in we will both be flying the same altitude in the circuit. In this case I was looking at the height above ground level. In this case, ATSB reported: 1. The ADS-B showed 1400’ on the downwind leg; ADS-B output is AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level). I incorrectly picked up on this so we can disregard it because I was talking about AGL (Above Ground Level). 2. On the graph 1300’ AGL on the downwind leg is shown and notated “Height above ground”. Camden Airport elevation is 230’ + 1000’ciruit height AGL = 1230’ AGL Camden report Circuit Height in ERSA as 1300’ – 70’ out. We can disregard the discrepancy in this case, because the pilot was on 1300’ on the downwind leg, so not above Camden’s ERSA circuit height.
  16. In transit, I’ll give you an answer later. What QNH do you enter at your local airfield?
  17. Have a look at the VFG regarding circuit height and the ATSB report.
  18. From the report: "Recorded altitude has been converted to height above the elevation at the point of ground impact. This was about 10 ft below the airport elevation." AGL is also mentioned on the graph. Circuit height is 1000' AGL That's where he was supposed to be on downwind, and at somewhere like Camden, spot on it. This was driven home to me one day when I was flying along at the minimum 500' agl and after a while realised I could see the bark peeling off dead sticks on the ground which was rising.
  19. .......start breeding them, but realised the breed was secured by ............
  20. ....hind legs, or for that matter fur. She bent down to pat what she was sure was a cat, and the Gorpington pecked a lump out of her ...................
  21. Turbo apologises......the second one.
  22. This is the prelim. report so they will now be doing the detailed work item by item. 1400' downwind? steady descent 130 kts?
  23. .........Turbo redeemd himself when he was able to produce a video of one of the ancient chickens of Gorpington a tiny country tucked away in a valley of the Himalayas. As he said, Turbo himself had taken the video on furlough from the Khyber Pass. It showed a double jointed Black Gorpington (the g is silent in Gorpington) It was kicking at the other chickens with a double jointed legg and switching its tail like a cat. He withdrew the regret for his decision, said he knew he had the video but just couldn't put his hand on it at the time,the PR people dressed him up in a giant black rooster suit with a bow tie, the chickens were labelled Black Orpington, and just ran out the doors of the franchisees, double jointed or not. It wasn't until ................... [Interesting photo. Not many people know that Turbine Defence Inc. designed that tanker drogue. The earlier ones weren't labelled and several crashed when USAF pilots pulled up behind the tanker and tried to stick that sharp thing in it. Once Turbine had labelled it, they were able to see it was the other end of the arcraft that mattered.]
  24. I wouldn't get too excited Keith, note that this thread started with someone guessing that single and dual set should be the same price. RAA decide what they charge. Every Sipermarket decides what it charges, every business decides what it charges and it wouldn't be the first time that the profit was made on the sales price of one product and another product sold at a lower price, the combined result being greater than if they were both sold at the same price because the cost was the same. The person could have just kept his own business to himself and contacted RAA Ltd.
