  1. Bit of History that most aren't aware of .............

     

     

     

    The worst aviation disaster involving Australians occurred in New Guinea during WWII when a B-24 Liberator crashed killing the crew of eleven men and sixty soldiers of the 2/33rd Battalion and two drivers from the 158th General Transport Company. An additional 90 men suffered horrendous burns in this tragic incident.

  2. My Uncle was shot down by a FW190 on 7/6/44 (D Day +1) over France. He said he flew his Mustang out of cloud and got nailed. The resistance looked after him until the Allies Advance. You don't hear much of them its always the ME109's, Bit like the Spitfires got all the glory but the Hurricanes did most of the work.

  3. Its a screaming 2 stroke but you can still hear the comms and revs. I hadn't listened to dragon for a long time ( since Cairns Showgrounds in the late 70's ). Was a pity Mmark Hunter went the way he did, Cancer somewhere in the throat I think.

    Quite the contrary, she looks good. I remember when the Savs first came out they looked quite agricultural but now just sweet. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...............
