.....he had sworn a sacred vow in Shinto never to reveal the secret, or part of it; the other part being a large and shining sword held by the Admiral. When he opened his little Honda Dealership it was the Admiral himself who came out and cut the ribbon, narrowly missing Turbo (the Admiral's eyesight was fading by then). Towards the end of the dinner the old Admiral with a few Sakis on board jumped up, yelled Banzai!!! and would have taken out half a dozen people with the sword if it wasn't for the fixed operations guy who snapped the sword in half with an adjustable spanner - they knew the Japanese weakness with metals. With the Admiral safely on the Qantas flight to Osaka, Mr Honda turned his attention to Formula 1, entering a Honda 600 sports car with a crew of 87; 83 of them being photographers. The 600 of course wasn't allowed to win, but by the time the weekend was over Soichiro, smart as a whip had a photo of every single component on every other car he had to beat, and went on to feature in ..................

......pinching tyres off Parked Zeros. It was something every Uni student did at Osaka. One night the Navy SPS caught Nob and Turbo carrying a Zero tyre down Sukiyaki Street and brought him before the Admiral. “We need those tyres” said the Admiral, “we’re going to attack Pearl Harbour Sunday week”. It’s funny how you can find yourself looking at history and....

........they were both students at the Osaka Eco-university and Nob had tied his girlfriend’s knickers to the flagpole. Nob had also.......

........bacteria from the secret Chinese recipe. Turbo wasn't told this and after reading about it in Cappy's post gave them jobs for life as Cat Herders on the Farm. That's what he's like. Meanwhile, the Chinese Navy, impressed with Turbo's handling of their latest, secret (so we couldn' tell you about it) weapon, asked him if he could think of any improvements. Irritated at losing the last Lockheed Martin contract, Turbine (China) Aerospace was set up in the Spratleys and affectionately called the Skink Works by the Chinese who couldn't wait to leak the details to the US. Uncle Joe messaged Little Albo: You little XXXX, HOW did you let this happen? The Australian PM responded, "It's not my job to know everything that's going on; why don't you phone Turbo?" From the Pentagon the US Defence Chief messaged Turbo. International dimplomacy really is just like a game of pool. Within three minutes in a handshake deal, Turbo sold the Skink works to the US Defence Department for $730 billion. The concrete foundations hadn't even been laid. Big Albo .......................

A well-known Australian truckie went for a holiday to Macao and sneaked in to a strip show since, he thought no one would know him. The stripper picked him out from the crowd and got him up on the stage. From the audience, an Australian voice rang out "GO KNIGHTY!" This photo has triggered a similar story quite different to the one Cappy told. Sad Hunk, a well known Bahamas musician who plays the 44 gallon drum, is a good friend of Turbo's and for weeks had been sending newspaper reports to Turbo of the erratic journey of Cappy in his new multi-million dollar yacht sailing through the Bahamas (or more correctly bumping through). What occurred here was a sleek, Amphibious Ultralight was docked in Sunset Bay Marina and Cappy came charging in, tried a U turn, missed and took out the amphib.

In this particular case what came out in the Court today was that Vicroads only found out the driver had a medical condition when he applied for a truck licence and once that declaration went on the record it was applied to his car licence by Vicroads. So far it appears this may not be relevamt to what unfolded, but important information for the people who have been arguing for a truck licence medical (self declared) in preference to a Dame medical. It this was approved and someone decided to go for a self declaration medical then not declare it he's in big trouble, if he does declare it he's in middle trouble, but if a DAME approved him to fly and that was perninent to the case then the DAME would be the one who had to defend his decision rather than an unqualified pilot. In this case the operator knew he had a medical condition. His medical equipment gave him 9 warnings which he ignored and his medical condition appears to be the cause of the subsequent crash given that he needed immediate medical treatment on the spot, so we'll see the process and result in the Courts.

Self declared Medical A short time ago in Melbourne a driver who fatally struck five people and injured several others at Daylesford appeared in the Magistrates Court charged with 5 counts of culpable driving causing death, 2 counts of negligently causing serious injury, 7 counts of reckless conduct endangering life. The driver was an insulin-dependent diabetic who needed immediate treatment at the scene. With a Self declared Medical you are on your own without the statutory protection of someone like a DAME, so the outcome of this case will be of interest to those thinking of going down the self declared route.

.............and there, down below, crystal clear in his conscience was the runway. "Maybe I better land longwise this time" he thought, but was interrupted by a puff of smoke as a missile was taken out by the on-board loyal wingman. As he got closer he saw below him the Australian ship HMAS Toowoomba, throwing every thing it had, which wasn't much, at him. He was in Chinese waters, the shoot was illegal and it was Australians shooting Australians or at least one Australian. He knocked out both anchor winches and the rudder; there never had been any love lost between the RAAF and the RAN anyway. He flew around at sea level for a while to confuse everyone then quietly landed back on the Chinese field. Ginga Din greeted him with .......................

.... flew a tight Carrier Circuit and greased the Corsair onto the huge runway. It has to be said that in normal Chinese style the runway had been built by Chinese and the rippling nearly knocked his teeth out but soon he was surrounded by a sea of Chinese pilots clapping in applause. The keenest of them was a short guy with crew cut and acne who put a garland of tropical flowers around his neck so Turbo said "Take her up" The litte Chinese jumped up onto the wing, settled himself, the Corsair coughed into life and he was gone; straight down the runway and over the horizon in the direction of Beijing. Turbo realised he might not have made the smartest decision, but 15 minutes later there was the Corsair doing a slow roll at ground zero, followed by the neatest landing. The little Chinese pilot whose name was Gunga Din was beaming from ear to ear, and cautioning him that he was about to see China's newest stealth figher so he couldn't tell any secrets, like the-ver-the horizon "Invisable Shield (IVIZ) or on-board coffee-maker, he said to Turbo "Take her up!" Turbo smoothly lifted the aircraft off, pointed the nose straight up. At 10,000 feet he could see that Cappy hadn't fixed the fence at the Compound, at 100,000 feet he could see Canada and at 200,000 feet he decided that was far enough. Not sure of where he was, Turbo ..................

.......bronze in the afternoon sun. Turbo could see them applauding so he did a low level inverted Immelmann with a half twist (not many people even know what that is). "Why we fighting helos like Trubo?" asked the Commander after he had checked around for any Beijing dudes. And they all looked around ................

....while it is always nice to be recognised, like a Medal of Honour recipient in the Battle of the Bulge, he prefers the quiet life feeding his pet croc and the reef sharks from his surf board on White Pointer Island in the Spratleys. When the reef sharks start to get vicious he just fuels up the old Corsair and bombs the crap out of them and a week later all the fish and chip shops in western Sydney are advertising Gritty Flake, so self funded flying. On one mission he got a litte close to the Chinese base, and just for a laugh dropped one near the Officers Mess. There was a rush of ................

RC aircraft have a much greater power to weight ratio than the real thing so things happen a lot faster. This is a first flight so there may be bell crank changes, but also some pilots are better than others at modulation, and some are not trying to imitate real flight appearances.

"....skilled at the typewriter or kind to Quokkas" The instructor preened and blushed and said "I am! would you like a lesson?" Turbo had been told about these old clunkers, and should have said "No" but he ...............

....say "looks like we have a positive here nurse, can you check this please?" Fingernails can hurt, and just when you start working out your Will you here, "Nah, he just eats too many pistachios." It was after one of these episodes that Cappy decided to join a Health Farm. There were the usual tractor rides, carrot gardening and feeding the chooks as you'd expect but what intrigued him was the "Learn to fly in an ex CASA FiO Percival Proctor OME. (Shown below is OME on the farm). The instructor was ..............................

.....could expand into Anti-CASA Smoke Cannisters, FiO Detectors, Ramp Evaders, XXXX CASA T shirts and stuff. It was while wearing one of these just for a laugh that Turbo taxyed round a corner straight into a Ramp Check.........

.....allowed him to kick the Skydiver in the nuts, slap the bike down and pull out his pink charge sheet at the same time. The principal charge was; "Operate an aircraft in a public park: (a) without suitable clothing. (b) below the minimum legal altitude (c) within 500 metres of a chook farm (d) not carrying a log book (e) using a phone while flying (f) failing to wear safety gloves while flying." The Skydiver ...............

Is this the night of the Ferals?

.........Wellcamp Olympic Stadium which boasts many athletics tracks suitable for 5000 and 10000 metre events and marathons, with a huge undercover camping area. With the stage out of action, bull coined the idea of Jackoff Skydiving with four people lying on the wings. Of course the Jackoff would be over MTOW, but hey that sh!t was always way too conservative and besides, he thought, "I can get the SDs to run the first hundred metres to give the Jackoff a chance of getting off and it would add to the Olympic spirit. The advertising theme was "Jackoff today" and so many customers rolled up that he had to dash across the the airfield and pick up three more wrecked Jackoffs. All was going well until the CASA FiO rode into town on his black Harley, and patched with "CASA Angles". Mavis was the first to give the warning (FiOs always go the the RSL first). She'd tried to distract him with her charms but they had withered since the old days, and he'd fired up the Harley and was slowly turning out onto the street when a Skydiver skidded to a halt in the very piece of road the FiO needed, and .....................

....gentleman that he is, even though he doesn't have a single count of Aboriginal DNA in him, agreed to this request. (Truganinni was a Romanian woman, who travelled the Showground circuit in Tasmania as an exotic dancer, snake lady, Lady Sinbad the wife of a sailor, lion tamer, of fighter in Brophy's tent, depending on who was down with the flu.) (bull's mitochondrial results show that he is related to his mother, and has the higher numbers which indicate extraversion (as against perversion in Cappy's), openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness.) There was nothing for it, bull flew across to Perth to interview the two artists who had invented the Smoking Ceremony. (In real life in the 1800s if you wandered into the next tribe's territory you got a spear in the guts, so we should be conducting spearing ceremonies). bull had a small sqare graded and concreted, bought some scaffolding and put seats on it (as Queenslanders do), learnt to play the didgeridoo (or learnt to hold it - the sound came from a tape recorder) stripped bone of all its tree leaves, and charged a $12:50 entry fee. He got the jackoff flying and started charging $50.00 for joyflights, but one day...............

.......within days had hired a dozer to come in and wipe out a grove of historic Bunna Pines for which the Council had paid $150,000.00 each. The Council had retired the old pom who had bought them after they found out they were not native to Bone and would die soon anyway, so they issued a press conference expressing outrage at bull's action in trashing their greening of what had been a park bare of trees, and the heat sink capacity which had lowered Bones average temperatures by 5%, lamented the loss of these rare and unique trees which were almost extinct in the wild. (in fact Turbo had 250,000 growing at Turbine Tree Planting Inc. for sale at "$150,000.00 each as found by our explorer known as CT who only comes in with a few during the year"). The Council issue a "Move-on" notice to bull for this outrage. So a win, win, win for the Bone Council. Now as anyone knows bull, although of rugged appearance and slightly overweight, is no pushover. Eight years ago before he had left Bone, bull had bought a Bird House from Bunnings and all this time had paid a small amount for a nearby old lady to put out some homey for the rainbow lorikeets every afternoon. People had commented on how kind the old lady was and the Bone Times had run a story on "Bird Lady" bull had kept the receipt and despite being shipwrecked, left starving out in Sturts Stoney Desert, and falling into the pool at the Crown Casino he still had it and applied for adverse possession of the park. In is sworn statement he said "I have owned a house there for 8 years, exceeding the legal 7 year term, and at no time has the Council told me to demolise it or move it or claim the property was theirs." And so bull became the owner of the park and continued building his aircraft. One day .....................

....the hospital quickly returned to the normal Tassie evening menu of pea soup, devil delight and stewed apples with, since the crash a glass of Yarra Valley red (with the usual layer of Yarra mud on top). With Jill now working for Elon, bull was left on the beach at Bone alone and lonely for his new home in New Victoria. His mind went back to the time he was building ultralights when the Council relentlessly picked on him for littering his property and the street with half-finished Jackas, so he walked back up from the beach to see if there were any left. He was in luck. There were still four half finished Jackas and a couple of 503s on the nature strip of his old home. In no time he'd borrowed a trailer, hitched up the Land Cruiser and planted an Aboriginal flat in the new Eco-Park where the shrubs were watered by pumps with their own Ergon sub station which powered a pump which pumped water 50 metres high to generate force to drive a turbine pump to bring water from Sunset Billabong 30 miles to the west. The Bone councillors had made headlines with their wonderful preservation action using their Zero Emission Process (ZEP) Soon Bone Eco - Park echoed to the sound of bull's angle grinder creating a new jacka from the skeleton of the old but it wasn't long before ........................

You can go on the Social Australia site any time you like and even start a specific thread on whatever you want to discuss.

Are you talking about the ability to ramp up a steam turbine?

Really? In that case you didn't read enough to find out the real issue was the ability of Black Coal to ramp up to suit demand.
