turboplanner Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Turbo was becoming increasingly alarmed at the careless cacophony of custard-brained culture that RuleFlouter had caused. His mind went back to the days of the Kelly gang, and with a start he remembered an eerie experience he had long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboplanner Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 No nothing like that, Turbo used to set the trim in the Warrior to fly hands off, set the alarm on the clock with the second hand, a and go to sleep for a couple of hours.

Guest Decca Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 ……and long ago was when turboculture was a lad, Ned was his role model. Ned had taken the young lad under his wing (manner of speaking aviationese), taught him how to use a Winchester & spud gun against unworthy targets, how to set up a padlock-and-string VG with secondary uses for navigating flying machines in the dark, or cloud. No doubt the young lad even invented cork lead acid cells to illuminate the cockpit, for these were the days before engines & alternators. “Such is life”, echoed turbo in his now doting age…….. Dam, time’s run out on me again, someone else’ll have to finish this for me…….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboplanner Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 The NES make believe stories about the Kelly Gang brought to Turbo’s mind an eerie experience he had many years ago at the Brisbane Truck Show. It was about 8.30 pm on a Saturday night in the early 1990’s, he’d been there for three days and his feet were aching and mind reeling from all the conversations. A nice looking man came up and politely said, “Hi my name’s ***** Kelly, could you give me some information on…….” Turbo asked, as he got the brochures ready: “Would you be one of THE Kellys?” The man started back in shock, and realizing he couldn’t cover up a reaction like that, quietly said “Yes” at which point it was Turbo’s turn to start back. He went on over twenty minutes or so to outline his relationship back to the Greta dynasty, and explain how he didn’t do this often because the family were intensely private. Turbo was amazed, and said he really appreciated being given an insight into history like that. But what happened next made his hair stand on end. “You realise they didn’t hang Ned, don’t you” he said Obviously noting Turbo’s slobbering open mouth, he went on “Ned got away early, and *_* was hanged in his place – photos were only just coming in at that time, and only a very few people knew what he really looked like. He worked his way up here to Queensland and lived his life out.” He went on to tell Turbo that one of the relatives was going to put the full facts down in a book, but foolishly Turbo didn’t keep in touch, and never got any more of the story. In 2005 Ipswich Councilor Paul Tully requested a full Victorian Coroner’s inquiry to find out if Ned’s younger brother Dan and fellow gang member Steve Hart survived, following speculation the pair escaped to Queensland. The Independent (UK) reported on 3/7/05: “Kelly expert Barry McArthur is reported to believe that it is Ned Kelly who escaped and lived in his dotage. His theory is that it was Dan who was tried and hanged in Melbourne.” Who can tell where the truth is, it was an eerie experience for Turbo, but he believes there must be some element of truth in it, because when he was searching for any details of this Queensland connection he came across an ad for “Ned Kelly’s Gold Coast Airport Hire Service."

Captain's Aunt could be a nuisance when multiple posts were being thrown at the rate of a Tasmanian fencing contractor, but Turbo will attempt to explain to Auntie. British Derivation In Elizabethan England, the gentry went right off the rails in an unwanted attempt to have a specific word of eveything - so featherstonhough, pronounced festonhuff represented the third wing feather on the left wing of a southern black cross cuckoo. In time the little lean to at the back of the house was called a Bummery, so no one could mistake it, for example, with the Dining Room. It looked like....well we won't go there, but in time it was shortened to Bum, and that;s where it would have stayed, if one of the less couth ancestor's or Captain's....but we won't go tere either.
