You can't blame Bruce after a litetime of sniggers. Bruce flew a Snedden 14. The Snedden was not the most beautiful Ultralight around, but suited people who wanted all four wheels on the ground. Bruce had just started to tell Turbo all it's good points when in walked ...........

..........brother's name was Robert. His father was one of those who laughed at his own joked and liked to introduce the two boys as Robert the Bruce. You can't blame Bruce after a litetime of sniggers. Bruce flew a Snedden M7. Not the most attractive Ultralight around, but for people who wanted to get four wheels on the ground, a good choice. Bruce shifted the discussion to his Snedden and just at that moment in walked.............................

........he met Owen. Owen shook Turbo's hand and said he never misses a read of the NES, relies on it for his daily news in fact. Turbo started to move away, but Owen followed. Turbo pretended he knew one of the Councillors and waved; the Councillor turned his back. Turbo sat down and pretended to go to sleep. Owen sat down beside him.Turbo yawned and said he might miss his train. He sprinted for the new Train Station (named FifteenBillionSpent). Raced through the gate, jumped through the doors which hit his nuts and sat down relieved. He turned and there was Owen,...........smiling .....................

When the CASA FOI next decided to make it hard fo Raj and told him his visa had expired, Raj said (as Turbo had advised but not meant literally) "Oh my goodness me, Sir, You can be getting stuffed because I have signed Visa from Prime Minister Mr Al Neesi, your Honour, Sir."

.........Turbo's Flying School used, when they advertised for instructors. Turbo hadn't flown for a few years, preferring to blow up Outboard motors instead, but he was impressed at as Tecnology Show by the full scale Lightwing Pocket Rocket https://www.lightwing.com.au/light-sport-aircraft/ on sale for a tenth of the price Turbo had been paying for an outboard. Turbo coudn't get to the Ultralight Flying School fast enough, grabbing the keys and walking out the door towards the one aircraft they had. It was a more modern looking Jabiru LSA55. That's when the Drone appeared explaining that all the talk about not needing a licence wasn't true, "Well you don't need a Licence Son, you need a Certificate!" The man walked with a limp, had gin skin, a gut that had people quietly removing the Lifeboy when they saw hin on a jetty, and as he passed they keys back to Turbo, said you'll be OK. Turbo still wasn't sure this wasn;t a bad dream, but the Instructor reassured him he was an ex Airline pilot with 20,000 hours. Apparently you didn't have to check the fuel "If you can't hear it sloshing, you land" quipped the Drone. Turbo froze at the thought of all those airline flights with the Drone at the controls. The takeoff leg was so steep that Turbo didn't have enough time to see if his fly was done up. He attempted to turn onto cross wind, but the aircraft was skidding so badly that the ball wasn't even in the aircraft. "You're doing well" the Drone said. Turbo turned it on it's side and pulled the stick back hard, he managed to get onto a wide downwind. It worked, and he performed a wings vertical turn onto Base. Pulling the throttle back was a mistake; when he rolled into the turn to final the aircraft simply flew sideways. He was out of control. "You're doing very well" said the Drone, and Turbo thought it may have been a recording. Turbo threw the aircraft at the ground, and it landed quite well. "He did very well" the 20,000 hour aairline pilot said, and Turbo made a mental note to drive interstate in the future and NEVER..............................

......he was going to mean eating Goat steaks and chips fried in goat fat. Tubo had never forgotten the meals out at Ipswich where Pauline never explained and you got a lift under the ear if you complained. It also meant the Long Road with few truck stops, but there's nothing better than an aged roo steak on the coals beside the road. Three days later they were in WA, and the signs "CAT Grousers $50.00 from OT." He'd brought along a drone to search for the fliers. SShe hadn't said much so far, but ....................

....from the Incorporated Association days?

........ and with your money. There should be one convener, and who knows what the business does. Otherwise how is he going to answer questions. The purpose of a limited company is to make money/finish the year with a surplus. Employees develop Policies and Strategies and put them up to the Directors for approval, so this election is not about what strategies members want. To go where you want is better with an Incorporated Association, because you can come along to a Meeting with your wish list and question the Candidates and that meeting will usually trigger the changes you want. Whereas in the Incorporated Association you tell them the urgent actions, there's discussion, and they'll usually hit the deck running. Jesus.

......out of hand and was called, in GA circles. "The Coffee Royal Affair" A former Prime Minister was involved (so NES Readers please don't tell anyone what you're about to read.) It was in the thru bolt days and Cappy had gone to pieces and wouldn't use the fix Turbo had been selling all over Australia; a piece of 3/4 inch Reo threaded both ends. Cappy was beginning to irritate the lower end of the Pub drinkers, with his pathetic excuses and was threatening never to fly his 230 again. People will remember on page 447 (when this site could afford page numbers) that Cappy's sole reason for building the 230 was to fly from Wagga2 to the Milewa Vineyard, to pick up loads of grog.....something about less duty in Victoria, and when you drink like Caapppy does, that's important; ........ the plausible stories we had to tell to cover up what happened on most flights. Cappy's blubbering had attracted King Smith who used to give Joy Flights at Wangaratta. By this time Turbo, ever helpful, said he had a spare Chev 350 with aluminum crank and straight cut timing gears. It had done five seasons in a Sprintcar, so was dry-sumped to operate upside down. Cappy was not having a bar of it, he said if he put another engine in the Jab it would be a Jaguar. Turbo had choked on his beer and was about to point out there would come a time when the only people driving Jags would be living in India, when King butted in and said "Turbo, if it's one of your Chev 350's, put it in and I'll fly the Jab to London. Cappy wasn't talking to them so they just went over to Cappy's place loaded the Jab pulled the engine out, threw it in the skip and bolted the Chevy in. The first thing they noticed was the sound. Neil Diamond wrote a song about the Chev 350 called "A beautiful noise." Next they noticed how the straight cut gears gave instant power......"Something you need when you're upside down in a Bombay cyclone" said King, big noting himself. The Jabiru was perfect for low level runs over the local airstrip, wing-overs at the end of the strip, and generally impressing the chicks with the noise. "Why don't we take it to London?" said King and Cappy couldn't get the grog on board fast enough. They got as far as a muddy flat in the Kimberleys when the engine quit. It wasn't a thru bolt of course, and it wasn't a Chevy fault or a King fault or a Cappy fault it was crap fuei which had been burning off too fast. Cappy said he'd ring for some fuel, but his phone was flat - he'd been playing SuperMario all the way up. King's was flat too, he'd forgotten to charge it. They stayed alive by eating Kimberley mud snails mixed with coffee grains and brandy, hence the "Coffee Royal mystery". King was supposed to be back at Mascot taking passengers to Melbourne and a dude who was up for the races, Reggie Ansett, stepped in and flew himself and all the passengers home. They cheered him at Tullamarine, so he did it the next day, but that's another story. Meanwhile Turbo was becoming concerned that they haadn't made Bombay, so he loaded the land cruiser with fuel, the other Chev 350 and various tools and set out alomng the route. He'd been going for 12 days when he....................... Footnote: There's a memorial at the Coffee Royal site; some wanker had carved 1929 over the date, but its been fixed - see photo.

....the best way out was to build a pipeline with taps. That way you could get oil and not have to deal with the ego set or require an enigma machine. The enigma machine was a sore point with Turbo because his cousin's grandfather actually invented the machine attributed to Bletchley Park. Anthony Turbine was a bit of a recluse and enjoyed welding up things with plenty of wheels and running 240 volt power through them to see what would happen. He was trying to invent an electric car. One machine had 40 wheels, aand when you turned the power on some would go around. After a while he noticed that others would go around three times then stop. On a whim he added a printer, and suddenly the machine came to life and invented a ditty......Mary hd a little lamb ....................................

......ungrateful crayon wavers promply wiped out Archie's surname. Turbo retaliated by withdrawing the $8 million prizemoney, so now all the get is the best wishes from the Archibald.Not maany people know that artists are real pricks, refusing to work if the light is just not quite right. Take this case, Jack Picasso was a serial non-conformist and was known for sending his staff carrying heavy chairs and tables down tto the local lake and setting up for a landscape (that's what artists call pictures). He strolled down with a bottlel of red and a French chick on each arm, looked at the scene, said "The light's not right" and did the same for 8 years when he FINALLY painted the "landscape".

Expected though. Those who want to fly cross country in difficult areas can get the training and qualifications - not that different from GGA where some just fly around the circuit and training area, others do the training.

.......enjoyed by the thousands of Movers and Shakers without management knowing about it. Turbo remembers the day when there was a massive argument about whether a licence was needed "if yer were trainin another Member." When the answer, by a learned Instructor was XXXXXXX YES!!!!!!!!!!!, the response was .......in 'is own plane" followed by a general silence.Turbo haad to go in and see CASA that day pursuent to getting himself out of the XXXX, and the whole room burst into laughter when he walked in. "Now you know what we have to put up with!" As he was saying that another .... officer strolled over, took the paper out of Turbo's hand stamped it and winked.
