Interesting - in particular the observations regarding Australia's massive cultural cringe (my condensing words) , which still seem to raise its ugly head today.
How did you get this impression Skippy?
The video tells us the Australian project received the go ahead, THEN:
The British wanted the RAAF to be led from London
A British Chief Officer was appointed to run the RAAF
He:
- said it was too expensive
- centralised design in Britain
- changed the design
- encouraged negative comments with incorrect data
- moved research to London
- where the design was obtained by Soviet spies
- Parts of the design were copied and used on UK fighters
- was sent back to the UK.
The next head of the RAAF ordered Sabres from USA and we have bought fighters from USA on a regular basis since; the Mirage being an exception.
I was lucky enough to be shown through CAC.
The height of their design capability was during WW2, but by 1955 many of their cutting edge Engineers with hands on experience would have been retiring, and there wasn't a lot of demand. They started contract work for various aircraft companies then looked ahead and in the early 1050s started a bus production line, mainly for school buses.

This was countered by CT KC who pointed out to his learned friend that the Kelpies were separated from the HE by sturdy leather saddles.

......jump a 10 foot wall? asked OneTrack imperiously.
"Not when saddled with 10 kg of HE" relied Turbo soothingly.
The training went on, and the Kelpies were trained to look for the national costume of the Khybers.
The dogs did well in training, rounding up the group of paid volunteers dressed up as Khybers and using the guttural language of the Khyber. The ABC did a short story on these "Personal Assistance" dogs and recommended them to the hundred or so audience.
All too soon the day came to start eradicating the Kybers who'd become entrenched between the Sudanese gangs, the Palestinian demonstrators who looked remarkably like the Aborigines promoting The Voice, and failing to pay the Vietnamese Restaurants and were considered a nuisance.
Albo, astute as always, hopped on Australia One and walked the street with his arms around the Kybers, sang their songs, danced their dances, and promised them Queensland.
There was the sound of barking, growling, sniffing and yelping; two dozen saddled kelpies were trotting down the street towards the Khybers. In a fluid movement the dogs surrounded them and they reacted just like sheep and clumped in shoulder to shoulder. It was time to hit the button, but ...........

.......the enemy. "We have discovered that if we pulp radishes and mix the pulp into spinach, the eater goes to sleep and it is much easier to behead them......Oh no, silly me, I meant head themto the beach.....beach head them.
But Turbo hadn't missed the strategy, and so Turbine Dog Training began training Kelpies as "personal Assistance" dogs.
In this way they could be located on footpaths, in hospital and could be located inside McDonalds past the buffers to stop vehicles.
"I'm training a batch now" he told Cappy over a coffee. We'll put little pack saddles on their backs which carry 10 kg of HE. the detonators are radio-controlled, and Hydrogen powered.
"As you know, you can send a kelpie a kilometre away down the paddock and it will round up a mob of sheep, get them walking and shepherd them in any direction, so the handler just has to attract the attention of the Khybers, get them taking photos with their phones and pose for selfies so, that each group will bind itself into a tighter and tighter group. We'll need 16 dogs, and since a good farm boy can handle 8 Kelpies, two soldiers to whisle in a disguised fashion, perhaps with Taylor Swift songs."
"When we get them nicely grouped it's only a matter of pressing the FIRE button, and we'll neutralise all the Khybers at once" Turbo concluded.

.......group of Sudanese, aged from 11 to 15 and all brandishing Machettes desecended on them and demanded their sandals. "Are thesed Nikes?" asked one. "Oh My Goodness, Yes!" replied a Khyber.
As they shuffled in bare feet along Springvale Road they began to feel more comfortable as the 30,000 Vietnamese, all with four jobs, so too busy making money fighting, ignored them.
They came to the Springvale Peace Bookshop, painted pastel blue with photos of happy families, all with beards. This should have been the warning sign, but in they trouped, desperate for a coffe and maybe a bit of a read. As they walked along the shelves the titles "How to live on nothing but sand", "When you get sand in your eye", "What is a Jihad?" "Beheading for the novice" started to ring bells and they had gone a hundred metres into the shop when they came to a sign "Student Radification Class Only", and it was only then that they saw ....................

To my mathematical thoughts and studying and a huge proponent of hydrogen I think it is extremely "ambitious ".
Yes, but they can start earlier due to this general funding.
An interesting boost for "Flying Car" projects in reviving the use of hydrogen. Not only will it power the car, but it will lift itself (c).

.....Khyber community in Australia, and they started marching in the streets until their bus driving mates had formed into a convoy and they could be bussed around the city hurling half eaten curry pies out of the windows and yelling "Die! English Dogs!" for the bottom was sacred to the Kyber people, and they had never forgotten the British soldiers yelling a taunt at them rhyming with Khyber Pass.
Although the descendents had been taught to revile this in school and could vusualise their poor soldiers, the Bussars as the news media called them were met by bewilderment "I never see this in Footascray before" one person said while being interviewed, "Wogs!" a Serbian yelled straight back at them. When they drove through the Vietnamese quarter, wet washing was thrown through the window at them, and when ............

Thanks for taking the time Mark to demonstrate that justice is not about fair play or reasonable action - in the end about who has the power.
Digging into the origins and basics of principles is interesting but did you check the link I posted some time ago to see if you needed an ASIC card at all? It may be that a lot of recreational flyers may have been buying cards they don't need.

Hi Turb,
Speed read of above doesn't actually say visiting pilot needs an ASIC - have I missed something in the above andalso prior changes to ASIC??
I think a lot of people may have missed a lot of detail and should do some careful reading.

There were lots of deaths in over the road applications, not all in accidents and it was the wives that stepped in and said enough was enough. They started a drive for better control of fatigue and better food. Roadhouses were pressured to introduce low kilojoule and more health food, and tougher licence conditions were introduced. I can remember the fatality count coming down in Victoria to 47 per year, but the rate has crept up again mainly due to drugs used to combat fatigue.

Jerry, I was always under the impression that morbid obesity was a very present and serious threat to a persons health - let alone the restrictions placed on their physical ability to do everyday jobs.
It's become obvious to me that a lot of people are "gaming the system", to acquire jobs that they simply should not be placed in.
I know the trucking industry is desperate beyond belief to acquire drivers, but this bloke drove it home to me, just how deep that desperation is.
I'm not talking about people that are just a bit overweight or pudgy, I'm talking about people who are virtually unable to carry out required basic moves, such as bending over to pick up something off the floor.
Then there's the problem that these people weigh substantially more than a lot of equipment is designed to carry. Most seating has a 120kg weight limit, so they're creating hazards just by their sheer weight.
And imagine the diet choices of an already morbidly obese truck driver! - substantial amounts of greasy roadhouse deep-fried food, pies, pasties and sausage rolls!
This truck driver is not an orphan, I'm seeing a substantial increase in these type of people, everywhere I go now.

Pull your head in. The real issue is how effective these procedures are and what works in other comparable countries. Nev
We had a very comprehensive discussion and some of us didn't just slag into the air, but obtained correct data.
The data showed that medical requirements to operate trucks was also complicated and was tightening faster than some realised.
The data showed that for people with no medical issues (which includes most young people), there was a fast DAME - free service.
We found that a lot of people had misunderstood the intent of this path and thought it was a lower level of licence, hence comparisons with truck drivers. Not only that, but people who decide to take it to avoid a DAME quickly find out that they go through the DAME process with the additional stigma on their heads of trying to bypass it
We found that if you have a medical issue you go see the DAME up front and the DAME will take it as far as the system accepts.
I can understand that it can be traumatic when someone is given conditions, or refused a licence, but inventing reasons why the DAME should pass them is not going to alter the medical facts. The process doesn't allow favours unfortunately.
As each change of Medical standard or process is considered, there is a period set aside for natural justice where anyone can make a submission, perhaps citing overseas statistics, perhaps suggesting a better way, perhaps showing shortcomings in what is proposed. Everyone has a chance to put his her case or opinion during this period.
However, when the Public Consultation phase closes, that's the end of it and there's no point in coming up with personal opinions or abusing other people because they didn't do what you wanted. The time for public discussion is over. The process just rolls on until any new regulation or process comes into force after taking account of all submissions.

Well it hasn't been confirmed yet whether it crashed in a fire zone or was just travelling or whether the wing failed, but given that fire services will have to start some safety analysis on the number of deaths on airborne fire assets and whether it's all worth the risk, I would imagine some commanders will have to get someone reading very fast.
There is a point where it's not acceptable to kill workers to save assets with no firebreaks or fires deliberately lit etc.
