Is anybody watching the series on History called Air Australia? It is about Australias Aviation History. I am watching episode 1 now and episode 2 is tomorrow. Hopefully they can go into the jet era. Right now it is following Mcguinnes (spelling) trying to start his airline.

Whats the little black jet in your last lot of pics Simon, I can pick the F-15 (Strike)Eagle and the C-130 Hercules, but unsure of the little black fast mover. Is it a A-4 Skyhawk??
Been taking the camera gear to work lately in the hope of getting some shots of the local Air Tractor fleet in action, so far haven't been stopped near any working.

And in NZ last week, after a full restoration:
                The next of the "Few", a WWII airframe delivered to Australia. There is a Spit being built at Oakey from scratch.

Another new addition to the family. Qantas 747-400. I have cleaned up my desk and boxed away a lot of models till I can get a suitable display cabinet.

US Army Rangers on a Nightstalkers MH-6 Little Bird.
 Here's my 1/18 scale version, carrying a couple of guys from the A-Team (don't ask).   I actually received two of these TOW Defenders in the post, even though I only ordered one. Score!

Now that's a low pass. Any lower and he'd be doing the Limbo Dance.

Have always loved that shot Simon. It's a bit deceptive, but still looks awesome!

By the way, can anyone get me into the Pig Tales F111 farewell at Amberley at he beginning of December?
Probably impossible, but worth a shot

Not wrong. You'd think Amberley putting one a public open day would be the polite thing to do....ah well.
The 6SQN F111 model should be turning up here soon, can't wait

Some new arrivals today.
Qantas 787-900 (I know they don't have any) and 767-300       In 2 weeks I am setting up an airport and taking all my models to a Hobby Expo, so all the ones in the pics plus another 20 or so I have boxed up. Should be great. |
