Pilot Pete

Could have, should have, would have........ If only we learnt from the mistakes of others. But we are what we are and will continue to do things like this because it is in our nature to do so. People have died since life begun trying to do things others have already died trying. Not trying to be philosophical about this sad incedece but this sort of thing will continue to happen regardless of training and whether the pilot was Raaus or Ga qualified

The body of a man has been found after search crews located the wreckage of a light plane that crashed in the NSW Illawarra region. The crashed single-seater plane was located on Wednesday morning, less than two hours after the search resumed in dense bushland between Bulli Tops and Sublime Point at 6.30am (AEDT).

Have always loved the corsairs. I have the full set of Baa Baa Black Sheep . 37 episodes in all.

Weren't they a double row of 7 cyl radials

Yep...... I'll be buying one for sure. Congrats Tim on becoming an author.

Try a Kawasaki inline 6 cyl Z 1300 engine for size.

Good o

Tim..... Your a famous author and film producer in rec flying circles already and all without having sold anything yet. What's it going to be like when the book hits the shelf????

Why not publish the book yourself, sell the rights to yourself and produce and direct a movie, and then produce a musical.You could employ yourself to write, play and conduct your own music. Strewth......you could earn a small fortune and keep it all to yourself. No need to outsource for any of the actors musicians or pilots. Can I be your agent or do you have that covered as well?

A musician as well. A man of many talents.

AMEN

Good show old boy......Jolly good show.

Sorry.............. but yes,back to topic

They also stood to attention for the raising or lowering of the flag, wore a shirt at the kitchen table, took their hat off indoors or when a funeral procession went pass as a mark of respect, called a person Mr or Mrs and not by their first name unless invited to do so . I could go on and on here as I have a lot of respect for the older generation and what they have to teach us. Manners for starters.........................

Hey, why are old guys ...old guys ? Because they have learnt what the young guys don't want to learn and are from a generation of people who once used a common sense approach to most things in life. Why are a lot of farmers old ? Because most of todays young generation wouldn't have a clue about farming and most likely wouldn't have what it takes to be a farmer .

Nieuport is still getting built. Kev is starting to build a Fokker triplane over at Watts Bridge. He uses a drifter for flight training. Mobile is....0488488104

Im biased but Kev Walters is a good instructer and is based near Atkinson Dam.

Your bucking the trend Ft. We are punning at the moment. Go with the flow man....... go with the flow

As the Cat said:- that's Purrrr-fect

Hows your engine shaping up?

What…...... No smoke?

I hadn't had a chance to see too much of the plane. I was more interested in the Nieuports and the Focker Tri-plane

Kev had said that he would take me up in the Tigermoth before I flew my Nieuport, but I guess that wont be happening now

Cooooooooool.................

Still no vid Timbo
