    Plain envelopes are often the problem Nev. The same with so many council applications. All you need is the knowledge of those that will accept them.

    So glad the camera distorts the truth

    Spot on onetrack. The VIN plates of the old Torana's were simply held on with easily removed pop-rivets. Hense many an old rusted out bomb still fetched good money from someone who simply wanted the VIN plates.

    Looks good Marty. Not so, the leading edge ding in last photo?

    I once got a ride in a Goodyear blimp at Biggin Hill, from memory it seemed the rush hour traffic on Parramatta Road would have moved a lot faster.. However it was a freebie, so I wouldn't complain as it was worth the experience..

    No doubt filmed at Dunedoo NSW (pronounced Dunnydo) Regional Airport. For non-Aussies, The term " the dunny" refers to the toilet. In years gone by, most places had an old non-flushing outside toilet, normally positioned well away from the house which had to be manually emptied. At night time it was always wise to carry a torch and lift the seat before use to make sure there were no red-back spiders lurking under the seat.

    Hopefully you don't get any that says "you must be wealthy pilot, please send a generous donation" đŸ¤Ŗ

    Hey Bruce. Time to come clean mate. Are you a journo for the general run-o-the-mill meeja ? 😂

    That was an interesting article.

    The Menu-log Delivery Drivers Association of South East Asia were naturally up in arms, as their mopeds only had a top speed of about 50 kmp flat chat with a tailwind to escape these intrusions, and sought some of Turbo's go faster guidance to improve their chances of survivability.

    But the tiger had a wry smile on his face as he launched his attack, as he knew there were another 1,420,893,746 to choose from if he missed his mark.😜

    If you watch this interview right to the end, you might possibly be more aware of some of the aviation problems both the world and Australian airlines are facing. https://www.facebook.com/grahamhoodformerpilot/videos/2035385760186123/

    Maybe time to buy a lottery ticket. Lucky to get away unscathed with that one.

    I'm sure you must be thinking of the DAF Daffodil Spacey. Two cones with a rubber drive belt which made an infinately variable gearbox drive. One drove thousands of miles across Africa at the time and the media claimed it was driven by a rubber band. Haha! I seem to remember one which was entered in The East African Safari Rally.

    Can't knock the 2CV. They were quite comfortable over the cobblestones streets even if the seats were a bit like deck chairs, and they rolled like a destroyer.

    Dear old fellah! Such a shame when these old guys pass on, there does not seem too many who follow on with such a pioneering a spirit. There would obviously be some, and good on them.

    Mate, are we related? There's a bit of a coincidence there. Just wondering!

    Looks to me like it was probably an afterburner problem.
