Bernie .

Has mid wing crossed your mind Bex ? SV Vampire ?

Bernie, that would've been Sid Marshall's DH Dragon ( not a Rapide though). My dad was mates with Sid and we'd go to the corner near Milperra road road for a chat every few weekends. If there weren't many passengers for the Dragon Sid would often say to me "you'd better hop in to keep the tail down." I got to see quite a lot of Bankstown and surrounds. Do you ever go up in his Avro Anson?

I lived under the circuit area so seen most planes back then but was to young for identifying any .

Bernie .

I used to collect beer bottles 10 shillings a hundred then take a joy fly't at Bankstown airport in a Rapide .(early 50's)

Plus mucked around with models , still have two of my old engines one diesel one glow plug . (made our own diesel fuel in those days .)

Bernie .

Not overly keen on being locked out of certain sites here Ian . As my avatar suggests I don't fly as PIC any more , but If I cant see what's going on with the RAA there's no way of making a decision to re-join .

Just my thoughts .

Bernie .

Was good to put some face's to a few I hadn't met before .

Bernie .

RIP .

Bernie .

Yes Ian its faster then before even out of High speed internet , but now governed by Bigponds crappy speed .

All to try and get me to buy more data which I wont just to annoy them .

Bernie .

The problem for me Ian is when I loose my high speed connection usually around the last week of the month how will it be then .

This and one other forum I belong to are the hardest to connect when my speed goes .

I don't have unlimited internet .

Bernie .

I met Chris a few times sorry to hear of his passing .

RIP.

Bernie .

I have one of Ian's head sets bought back when the Echuca flyin was , Ian will remember date its escapeds me ,but the head set has been a good investment .

Bernie .

I was a passenger in a tail drag Cessna landed at Archer Field I was looking at the aircraft on final behind us next I was looking down the runway .

Pilot had used to much right brake .

Bernie .

I'm 68 this month I have never understood the metric system I'm numbers dyslexic .

I only have imperial tape measures at least I some what understand the old system as it was bashed into me .

It was also a challenge for my CFI's but as the instruments where in imperial I could cope .

To this day I cant use a wiz wheel . But I can fly a plane and read a map .

Bernie .

I payed cash for my last 3 homes Nev .

Bernie .

Was it Bill ??

Bernie .

When the car races end mate.

Bernie.

Your going to have to tell me where all these things you want me to check are Ian...I don't know.

Was working before you fixed things that weren't broke?

And if that's the problem do I then have trouble with other forums I belong too.

Bernie.

No mobile phone Ian just my laptop on w8.1. Dont own a smart phone.

Across the top I have the three stripes in the corner then the email thingy then the red flag a pic of the world and a up arrow?

Bernie.

plus my avatar

Ian I don't have those things down the left, right, bottom or top they are just not there mate.

Bernie.

Still cant see any mark forum read either long or short.

I only go to the forum page I don't use anything else.

So where is this button its not where it was and on my computer cant be seen.

Bernie.

How do I get out of here where's the mark forums read?

Bernie.

My very first ever flight was in the aircraft at Bankstown, from fading memory 10 shillings was the cost some time in the mid fifties.

Thanks for the photo Gandalph. There was also a DC2 on line went in that as well.

Bernie.

I did notice HV wires in the TV report may have a bearing on it?

Bernie.

I had no rec flying yesterday kept saying unknown address, but running now?

Seems faster now then before.

Bernie.
