...he was carving a name for himself as a Folk Singer, and often stood in for Peter, Paul or Mary if they were off colour. Many preferred him to Mary. Hower with the money he earned he put himself through University, majoring at Harvard in Fractional Electronics where, as we have just read somone could convert an old Avro Anson used as a chicken house for 75 years and convert it to the equivalent of a B2 bomber. He wasn't an extrovert like Werner Von Braun, he was descended from the German side of the family (his mother's first name was Germaine), and an introvert, but .................... Turbo did have problems in the trucking industry where the dress code at that time was singlet, shorts and thongs. (This was when trucks were mostly driven by Poms who called them Lorries apparently not being familiar with trucks. Of course today trucks are driven by Indians who are better dressed.) Turbo would just give them a hot curry head dress.

......enchanting. "Every time you shake your head you get a different view." Sanjay continued as only an Indian could. "Wouldn't that make the airctaft impossible to fly?" asked OT, a logical man. "Oh my goodness yes" replied Sanjay, nearly impossible, but..........."

......pseudonym for Anmedsochtanistan (you can see why he had problems at loud parties) who was sent away to Karachi at the age of 7 to learn how to be a draughtsman. He excelled in his school and could draught goats by the age of 9, at which stage his father Ahmed kicked him in the butt and showed him the location of the engineering campus. He quickly picked up drawing and had a mirror memory and the eye of an eagle so an aircraft only needed to fly over head and he'd have an exploded drawing done. His Pakistani airctraft designs were legend and one of them was the famous Anson. Here we see the result of a bet down at the pub where Anson was asked to draw one with no glass. Turbo's grandfather, Sanjay Turbine, who did all the test flying has framed Anson drawing showing it flying without wings. In many ways Anson was the forerunner of AI. It was when he was designing the ........

It was in one of these decompression times that Loxie was caught on camera by the local press ....... In the Western District the best economic cycle for their meat production is to sow just enough seed to feed the stock through the dry season. At the end of the hey season there is a neat haystack on every farm. One of Turbo's neighbours had the longest paddock in the district, running beside the road for over a kilometres. It was only 150 metres wide but that's not the point. The farmer was like someone who buys an aircraft kit and never finishes it, full of advice but never managing to solve the problem. In this case he had no stock, but everyone else had a haystack so he also cut hay and started building hay at one end of the Long Paddock as he called it. With no stock, the stack was still there next year. No bells rang and he sewed another lot of seed and the stack was extended next year. Turbo would drive past every summer to see this stack growing longer and longer.The farmer wasn't worried about the cost; he sold suspension bits for Falcons. Eventually the ribbing from the neighbours stopped. He had the longest haystack in Australia, then the world. Some wag even put up a sign "BIG HAYSTACK: with two eyes painted at the end and a dot at the other. One night somone lit it at the upwind end and the rest is history.

........stand up straight when they held it, and always use the prtective gloves provided by the CFS. This triggered a new 700 page Manual on Fire Hose Control, and employment expanded to include Fire Hose Marshalls just to make sure things weren't getting out pf control........

His statements at Davos made the front page of every newspaper in Australia and someone suggested that we had been Boned (NES should have Copyrighted it). A new term came into effect in Australia; Pointing the Bone. Wherever the Bone was pointed electrical power died and the cost of electricity went through the roof. These days the diesel generators of Boroloola were supplying three quarters of the Eastern Grid.

Depends what happened at the hand over. We paid out big after a Race Car demonstration at a Shopping Centre. A track was marked out by orange plastic barriers (as a safety fence), the drivers of a variety of unrelated unsuitable cars were told to be careful. One went through the barrier and injured someone in the crowd. The car type was unsuitable for the track, and came under our jurisdiction so we were dragged in. (We didn't organise or take part in the display) Our defence centred around the Organising Official telling the drivers to e careful; we lost.

....... Loxie thought it would be quite exciting to be feathered, but not so sure about being tarred. His fire crew knew this problem very well. Sometimes Loxie would get to a fire and yell the Faireys command "HIT IT!", but then rush up and say stop if it looked like they were cutting the heads off the perunias with the hoses, and they wouold argue back and forth until someone said "Doesn't matter now, the house has gone, and they would let it burn down to embers telling stories of the days when fire trucks had manual steering or .......

For specifity it was Bombay, Mum hadn't been born when it was started by the Sarkies (we know the family), who dropped thSarkie name and built a string of them in Southeast Asia.

......this only bought a japatti now and again so they contacted Turbine Consulting NL who suggested a Joint Venture (JV), and so they approached the current Chair of TATA Group, Nate Chandlershipac. First, a little history. TATA was founded in Bombay in 1868 by Jamsetji Tata. Jam's first words were "Tata" as he was waving gooodbye to his English mother, and when he grew up to be mayor of Bombay, in an emotional vote he had the Council change the name to Mumbai in honour of his Mum and early days, but that's another story. The Mayor often lunched with John Cholmonderau (pronounced "chum") Turbine at the Raffles Hotel, and it was John, with a 50 million Rupee donation (which secured half of India as his Tiger shoot) that allowed Jam to start building small cars. The company flourished thanks to Sir Dorabji Tata getting a licence to build Ford Prefect Estate Cars, and Sir Ratan Tata fitting engines in them. In 2008 of course the Tata Group bought out Jaguar Land Rover. It's no surprise that the products were struggling; and one wag suggested they were worth more as scrap metal. And so OT and Sanjeev found themselves booked on the next flight to Mumbai. In the plush Board Room, gold-lined and not a Punkah Wallah in sight, Nate explained the Turbine Cat Farm principle and suggested that he could build Jags and Range Rovers and the two businessmen could sell them as junk and he would buy the cheap steel to build more cars, and they could spread the process all over the world as TATA bought out other car manufacturers to ........

We fly in CASA airspace. Since the change to See and be seen came in, you can check the current CASA regulations. These are also simplified in the Visual Flight Rules Guide (VFRG). They've also been loaded to this site with some practice ideas for the circuit There's no ambiguity in the VFRG advice. RA Pilots cab expect to be flying with two other classes; PPL who, other than students, will have been through a more comprehensive training syllabus, and Charter/RPL who not only have the higher level of training but will usually be flying every day of the week. Their expectations will be that someone joining the circuit will be following the same VFRG advice as they are. People might not agree with that advice or might have a much better idea or might think the US way is better etc. but when there's a collision and the others were all complying with the VFRG they will be claiming they weren't negligent.

....spoils of war. Cappy realised OT was making good money. Unfortunately the Cook family DNA kicked in. In the mid 1800s OT's ancestor Benjamin Over Traveller, convict, had scraped together the remains of a wrecked ship and managed to build a small dwelling in Melbourne's Fitzroy Gardens. It was the first BNB to be opended in Melbourne. BOT, as he was called had almost made enough money to pay off his debts, when Captain (doubtful) Josiah Collingwood Cook built a Guest House and included Breakfast and dinner for half BOT's price. BOT was already doing it tough when the soldiers came, and told him to get out of town. "There's gold in the West" one of them said helpfully, but BOT missed Ballarat and finished up in Kalgoorlie, so he had extra travel costs. Captain Cook's guesthouse is still in the gardens today and whenever the City Council tries to bulldoze it or shut it down, mysteriously The Governor herself shows up in her Bentley Sports, and threatens to belt the crap out oof them. So it was no surprise that when OT started making good cash with Hellcat parts and Land Rover lug nuts who shouilld show up but the alleged descendant, out own Captain Cook VII (no bars)........

......Kununurra? The dapper little figure wearing only a pair of shorts would scurry down Riverfig Av to pick up his "five pounds of pork sausages" then into Coles for the groceries, loading them into the old Landcruiser tray with the old trailer on which sat a Sling with foldup wings like a Corsair Carrier aircraft. He'd patented the hinges which came from track shoes on an old Cat D3 he'd picked up in Dingo. He never told anyone what he was doing or where he was going , but would drive a few K out of town, unload the Sling and search for any yellow CATs or Orange Allis Chalmers. He wouldn't do what all the others did and winch their old 40 tonne find onto a semi which cost $40,000 to get it back to civilisation and another $230,000 in rent by the time he'd sold all the parts. Oh Nooo; The Outback was his storage shed and he only took home the part ordered by his customers. He got a kick out of the free rent courtesy of the land owners and the Commonwealth, and particularly when an old CAT or AC was on Noongar Country. It was ............

suspect. Some NESsers might be wondering how we've driftered off the av theme and now we can reveal the reason some AUF members can afford new over the top airctraft and others can't; it's the Grammy Method where OT does the cash extraction with his quill, leaving many satisfied but without their millions. Current Affair had been after him for years but (a) the Ch 9 expense account didn't run to WA trips and (b) .........................

....a pattern that had won the Launceston Show's Sponge Cake Championship year after year. This amazing invention was also partly responsible for Turbine Beef's string of 17 Champions of Show and the annual Longreach Royal Show, Rodeo and Rooster Chase. Turbo's bulls would be trimmed then groomed by the Longreach Hair Salon, and if they dropped a load, Patty, as he was called would move in before the last drip and fashion a beautiful pattern, whereas the other entrants just left the copats as they were. Over the years Turbo often noticed the longing look of the Judge, thinking of his grandma's sponge all covered in patterned cream. That was until the 2023 show when............

.......decided to set EP up one day. EP could be unpredictable when you flew......just like the Jab, so you had to be ready for anything, but EP always did the same sequence when testing students. Well not always; every tenth student go it reversed, but 9 out of 10 you knew when you were for the cow pat test. The females were tested just the same as the males; EP was a stickler for Diversity. It was time for Pip's test (we can't give you her real name because she went on to a senior position in CASA.) Student Paul secreted himself behind an agreed Gorse bush with a bucket of blood from the local knackery. Sure enoughh EP pulled the cow pat trick. Pip set a trajectory to take here near the gorse bush, and suddenly exclaimed "WHAT WAS THAT BANG!" "What bang?" asked EP who had been reading a newspaper. They circled and there spreadeagled was a person covered in so much blood he was almost certainly dead. They flew back to the strip, jumped in the ute and drove back over the paddock. When they got there the body was gone but in its place were police numbered markers denoting the body and a trail of squashed cow pats. Pip squeezed back a laugh at EP's face ............................
