    Had a close look, it looked Italian so I googled Caproni, came up with similar aircraft but not the same.

    Fokker derivative? Ford produced his own copies after inspecting a Fokker, only his were all metal I believe. The tail/fin in that photo looks very Ford.

    I usually go on memory, haven't seen that one. Looks like a metal version of a Cirrus or something it was based on. Just had a close look at the photo, looks like it's in Australia at Latrobe Valley. Has a bit of a Gippsland Aero look to it.

    Blackburn Kangaroo comes from a long way back in the brain.

    There will be jobs but as of the last aviation crises in Australia (pilot strike/Ansett collapse) there will be lots of competition for limited jobs. I would imagine the same as last time wages will be considerably less than before things stopped. Lots of pilots vying for limited jobs, just what predatory companies like.

    Wimmin always like a whine

    Fibro or fibrous cement was used a lot in cheaper houses especially commission homes, still a lot of older places with internal walls built from it.

    They did have a couple of "Sort of" conventional aircraft, a few even had the wings on the right way round

    That's pretty good for 5 feet tall

    Burt's mob were prodigious producers of aircraft.

    Looks a bit like the UFO ole mate from Moree built

    Perhaps you would rather move to the US where if you get sick and don't have any health insurance then you die, if you get cancer, you sell your house if you have one or you die, free enterprise at it's finest.

    King air or PC9 could carry 1 tonne of freight, Jab 30 kilo's?

    The actual rate of unemployment will be a lot higher than predicted, the same as the quoted rate now is not the actual rate. The actual rate will be closer to 30%. With causal jobs now being the norm and either under employment (If you work 1 hour a week you are considered employed) or working 60 hours a week and only being paid for 40 is standard practice, this will only get worse when jobs are harder to get. Before virus unpaid overtime was standard practice with most work, when work does resume you there will be a big hit in wages and conditions.

    How long to do a Hectare?

    Don't know why but it looks Italian

    Wuzza bit easy that one ? I started a bit late to get into EP9's, from all accounts they weren't brilliant performers. Ole bloke I did supervision under had some good EP9 stories, some of the Airfarm one's had Cheetah radials innum.

    This has been used extensively throughout the Commonwealth not just a one off.

    That last one is a Burt derivative no doubt called after the builders name like a Phil Smith Mk11. But is actually just a widened Varieze, it's a composite canard version of a Burt Rutan design concept.

    Burt stuff

    Here's a bit of a run down on Dean, very clever man. https://teamkitfox.com/Forums/threads/6306-Is-this-quot-the-ultimate-homebuilt-quot

    Another Dean Wilson design. I saw this thing in Australia, somebody must have bought it out for a tour. It looked very slow in the air but the size is deceiving.
