Hi, I am now home most of the time, like now, give me a ring on 0412 881108

Thanks mate, now what do I do with it

A friend was given this part to give to me, it was found in the belongings of a friend's father who had passed away. Seems like the top of a control stick in an old military plane but don't know which one. Here are the pictures of it

LOL, solved the problem on how they were able to bypass the turned off registration setting. I saved the setting on this site but on the Social Australia site which endured the midnight attack it seems I didn't save the setting to turn off registrations, so my fault but all good now. I am on so many meds at the moment so the brain just aint working right

I am sorry to all users about the recent spam attacks but between myself and the moderators, whom I owe a great deal of thanks, we act as fast as we can to stop the attacks and clean the site up. Yesterday evening I was able to stop an attack as it was happening but they came back just after midnight which unless I am awake at that time I and/or the moderators can't act on it till first thing in the morning. Last night I turned off any new registrations but it seems they were able to break through that during the night so I am investigating that today. Once again, my apologies if this has caused anyone any inconvenience.

I think we need to get back on track. If you wish to discuss about power then there is other forums more specific. Thanks

Nev, the news story says it was an Auster

In a freak accident, an unmanned plane took off from a Sydney airstrip by itself on August 30, 1955. When a pilot in training suffered engine troubles, he landed at Bankstown Airport. After he climbed out, he spun the propeller by hand and the plane unexpectedly started moving on its own. The Auster, like this one below, somehow took off from the runway and began flying in ever wider circles. For hours the unmanned plane flew over the city, its range extending from Mascot to Vaucluse, over Punchbowl, Rockdale, Redfern and the CBD. RAAF planes were dispatched from Richmond and Newcastle to shoot down the plane over the ocean, but they were unsuccessful. Eventually two British pilots JR Bluett and Peter McNay, who had flown up from Nowra, were able to knock the plane out of the sky. The two pilots were celebrated, but the Australian government was grilled on why it took three hours to successfully intercept a light plane with nobody flying it.

Please, if you find anything that is not working properly or just doesn't seem right with the site then let me know...thanks
