  1. I dont think this is a HARS aircraft. Last I saw it was operating from Warnervale NSW. Colour scheme is for a recall aircraft.
  2. Just after midday today 9/3/24 Stearman overturned on runway. No injuries reported
  3. Looking at the photo of the scene, I cant see any aerial cable markers attached to the cable crossing the river. I know that Ergon Energy for one have a marker program in progress but were there markers here?
  4. I flew in VH-ASM circa 1958 but I wasnt the pilot. The pilot that day was Sid Marshall.
  5. I flew Jabs of all models except 250 for 11 years (owned one for 7) and never had a nosewheel or wheelbarrowing event nor heard of one either.
  6. I wonder which lane they were flying. There is Victor One, and there is also the western Sydney light aircraft lane which crosses south- north to behind Camden then cuts north east over housing suburbs to come out somewhere near Brisbane Water
  7. iIRC a continual power loss issue ina rotax powered Alpha suspected to be a fuel flow issue turned out to be a blocked muffler
  8. I wonder if he was transitting Victor One just off the coast and struck trouble . Max transit height there is 500 feet which doesnt leave many options to find a landing place.
  9. Yes. Hope the crew is ok At Cromer on Sydney northern beaches
  10. I recall an Alpha years ago with persistant power loss after takeoff AFAIK Turned out to be a blocked muffler.
  11. More info in the second book "Blast the Bush" also by Len Beadell
  12. For an anecdote about a Bristol Freighter and Project Buffalo read or listen to "Too long in the bush" On another front, I believe that the Beaufighter at Narellan has the engines from the Lionel Van Praag Freighter crash many years ago at Albion Park Other wreckage went to somewhere near the Zoo at Nowra.
