  1. ......quickly snapped back to attention, pushed the screen washer button and cleared the blood and feathers and resolved to pay a lot more The blood is gon in seconds attention. For those NES readers who misunderstood Cappy's term "got one" it refers to Tasmanian Mutton Birds; small birds which fly very fast and nest in burrows like penguins and their density in Tasmania is pretty much the same as mosquitoes on the Murray. The fly into your car, bomb you when you have your best clothes on and out in the bush you're tripping over their burrows every time you go out. Up on the north coast so many shops sell cooked mutton birds that Kentucky Fried Chicken nver managed to get a foothold. Tasmanians talk about them so much that when they say they "got one" everyone knows they either ran over a mutton bird, poured diesel down a mutton bird burrow, shot one, or just caught one and wrung its neck. AUF members, particularly the ones wh love talking about any aspect of an aircraft will be interested to know that everyone flying has installed a screen washer consisting of 6 plastic milk bottles, a 12v hugh speed pump earthed back to the battery, and a screen wiper motor from a 1949 Ford Prefect (there are still plenty on Tasmanian roads) with a Mazda 626 blade. The blood is gone in seconds and ......
  2. ...see chastity just once more became too much fo our swashbuckling hero. bull realised that lately on that trawlers with it's smelly prawn guts, life had become more buckling than swash, so he selected the jacka, cleaned the rats nests out of the electrics, and set out across Bass Strait bound for bone and that stunning blonde chasitity. As he ran abeam of Flinders Island his thoughts went back to the bible and God's advice to stay way from sin with hope, faith and chastity, and he was moved that someone so long ago knew what a little number they had in Bone. As the old bluehead churned along; it was 65 years old this coming Sunday, bull ................
  3. It was nothing to do with nutters; it was about the possibility of leaked information. There would be a serious issue when a people's organisation released unapproved plans or made a practice of ignoring industry publication outlets.
  4. .......have one of the rare "CASA Keys". Not many people know about these keys (numbers actually); there are less than 100.Turbo has one, Cappy had one but forgot the number, and bull has been borrowing Turbo's but after this news that will have to stop. The CASA key lets you access the locked area of the CASA website, where they discuss people like......well you know, the habitual complainers and haters trying to get approval for illegal designs or home made crap you wouldn't even start the engine for in case is shook itself onto the ground or the people who'd had seven heart attacks but still wanted a Medical. OT didn't have one because they only issued them for Australia, not the dependencies and this was where bull's adopted home would cause a problem which...............
  5. ......."Maaaate!" and even before the Pope could answer, a thin leather cord shot out from behind a curtain and bull was being choked (rather like the AUF office procedures); the Pope gave him a longf look and said "Son, I'm from Chicago; I used to be Benny Domasi's accountant, so beforetyou go on with that "Maaaaae" crap that your leader Elboneesy tried, you need to think about the consequences. Do you speak Latin?" "It just happens that I do" in the exclusinve Juilius Caesar dialect, and the Pope burst intoa smile, the garrot flicked back behind the curtain." "Bless you my son" said the pipe and bull then started to go through his sins, some which even made the Pope blush and begin to wonder whether he should have started this, but after bull finished with the last "ey", he realised that this lowly (of course highly in AUF company) wanderer would be the next Holy See to Australia ("which means" said a Bishop "that you tell us everything that little fart from Sydney is up to in the Parliament. We'll organise a weekly Confession and the tapes and make sure he gets an extra glass of wine at Communion" bull went forth happy in his new purple robe, saying "Bless you my son" even though it was obvious that many of the people he touched with his crusifix weren't male and couldn't fly, but beggars couldn't be ...................................
  6. ......more schooling could help. In his time where he had to learn Latin, and in his gap year go to Italy and find someone he could talk to as part of his assignments, he found the curriculum (bull of course speaking fluent Latin knew what that word meant) very helpful when he was planting trees in Latin. He was so fluent that he had to leave Bone ey, because no one knew what he was saying, even when he spoke educated English. Grey Nomads would know the problem well; even the signs in the way in to Bone are weird and you can order a steak at the pub and finish up with one brussel sprout instead. bull decided to change things and ..........
  7. He's doing that on another runaway nutty thread because its safety advice. He wouldn't have to do it if RAA issued a document and the advice was in the document; but as far as I can sse this is another tell-tale thread that didn't wait for any official announcement.
  8. ....get their food from supermarkets and campaign to ban cattle. When looking for the fighter pilots of the future, the RAAF doesn't walk down Smith St, Collingwood checking out the dudes lying on the footpath, or cruise through Logan in an MRAP; no, they go out into the Country where the the average resident started shooting rabbits or wild pigs for the family dinner when they were five. These were the people you could rely on to ................................. Country School Excursion - Grade 6

"Where do you plug it in?" asked Cappy nonchalantly, not knowing what a flash drive was. OT saw where this was going and ....................
  12. .....Cocktail cabinet for those unfortunate enough to get caught in it for an hour or so, but the more important news was that Cappy has been asked to appear on LA Tonight to be interviewed on his new book; "How to make a Cessna hop!" Cappy became all nervous that his Australian kilt might not be understood in the US and Turbo agreed that the host who usually humiliates women might call it a skirt so it was down to Turbo's favourite outfitters on Rodeo Drive with the warning that he would do the talking (after the last time when ......)
  13. ........but Cappy had watched the how to land a Cessna on a golf course and flicked it straight up over a mound then let the leds hang down in a bunker, did a 90 degree turn between two flags, spun around and went off at rioght angles, hopping a tool shed, weaved between a four, shaving the peaked cap off one of them, bounced it down hard on a green allowing him to jump over a bunker and then ........................
  14. .....odd way of walking. When faced with this lurid story from Cappy, who notoriously missed every gnu he ever shot at, Turbo patiently explains that one embarrassing scar occurred when he slid off a haystack and landed on the top of a steel picket and the other one was from his motorcycling day which ended his two wheel career. NES "Thousand Club" readers who get the live story on video will notice, next time Cappy comes int camp with a gutted and skun gnu on his shoulder, that it's his faithful servant Gunga Din Sing who has the blood all over him and is carrying an old iron sight 30/08. Cappy has his scars too, and one day when he did his usual and ran the home made J230 out of fuel, the outcome was ...........................

In Australia, after you've bought a product there's a Manufacturer's Warranty with a specified end period PLUS a Federal Government (Australian Competition & Consumer Commission) over-riding law (https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/buying-products-and-services/warranties#:~:text=Consumer guarantees are automatic and,on the product or service.) explained in this link.

  17. .....Unfortunately the exoskeleton started to rust out and Turbos movements became more and more sluggish to the point where the film crews had to speed up the film to keep the story line. It didn't go well if the Star sas "What are you pointing at Turbo", and turns around to find Turbo's hand still firmly in his pocket. He sold the rusting EX to a Chinese, Dimsim Wao who wanted to mass poduce them and sell them to Americans who were having difficulty domestically. In the meantime the SOS group were getting hungry so Capp y went out and shot a Gnu just as he used to do on the Khyber. As he came into camp with the gutted and skin Gnu over his shoulder, CT loudly proclaimed "You idiot! Don't you know Gnu's are sacred around here these days!" "What Gnu?!" replied Cappy, this is a rabbit! CT who knew a rabbit when he saw one realised what Cappy had, necessarily done, and said "...

They were embedded in the Indian SOS as chicken stranglers, and were quietly popping off Pakistanis on the Northwest Face and leaving no trace ...............
  19. ....of all the equipment in the 908 Kenworth, the most valuable asset was your town. "Next time you are on the road" he said "and an an NHVR, turns on his little Jabiru flashing light, his little "tick", "Tick", "tick" siren and pulls you over on a crest, just as he gets to thge door wave your towel out the window. You'll never see him again!" Meanwhile down on the India/Pakistan border, 21 bright green turbans appeared above the rocks. One minute they would be facing towards the Indians, next minute facing each other, next minute facing away from the fireground and then back facing the Indians. They only did this once because a P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P broke out from Sniper CT, a few unfurles 6 metre green strips of silk floated across the lines and it looked like game, set and match except ...........................
  20. .......they had eliminated the Great Capitan!; scourge of the Punjab and Khyber Pass! However, those of us who serve with him know his towell smells like a pack of hyena after they've been feasting on the rotting carcass of an elephant. The towell was still there and it was noted that not one Pakistani or Chinese Aircraft (China was supporting both sides) aircraft flew anywhere near it. Those in the trenches downwind knew why; it was the old Khyber Towell trick and worked ........

  22. .....have the equivalent of a Telephone Box comnversation. This was difficult because the civvy OT had been so reliable. Could it be that he had been stitched up?, Could it be that he loaders had filled the boxes with the easily recognisable Kalgoolie sand? Or Could OT have been the victim of fowl play? As Turbo and Cappt locked OT in the Dunny they both agreed this wasn't like the Khyber which was an ANZAC operation where NZ Bob supplied stores like clockwork, but.........
  23. .........Raj, who had left his Kenworth at Moree and was flying back to India to become a fighter pilot. There were actually 387 others in blue singlets and shorts, all going home to become fighter pilots and there were Kenworths parked up the full length of the Newell and Bruce Highways. And that's not all; all the Roadhouses that served the munchy curry that gave you the runs on a long trips, leading to aboriginal site names being replaced by names like "Whiteass Pass" were gone to fight in the Indian Army. "Walruss Team 6" had been carefully selected, so Cappy and Turbo could be Joint 3 Star Generals, not required on the front line, and The Observation Officer was bull who given a weird looking grey thing and a pair of Chinese binoculars. bull was a natural of course because you only had to look at the dilapidated aircraft he flew to know he could keep anything flying. Sergeant CT was in charge of the Snipers, and RSM One Track was in charge of logistics, transport and purchasing. As WT6 left Australia ..........
  24. ........use at the Transport Legend Awards, but came in handy at the King's Coronation. In fact he carried two packs of business cards, one in each pocket, but the problem was remembering which card was which and there was that very embarrassing night at the 2024 Art Awards when he pulled out his humility card and gave it to the Governor. "Doo We keneau you? asked the Governor and Turbo had to pretend to be about to throw up and excused himself only to run into ...............
  25. Focus on how many are in RAA, many basic aircraft are popular in other countries. We have to focus on the ones that are legal to fly here.
