    Another great place to visit is the old Qantas hangar at Parap. It stands on the site of Darwin's first civil aerodrome at Parap. Ross Smith Avenue is in fact the the original runway on which Ross and Keith Smith landed in December 1919 when they won the first England to Australia air contest and a $10,0. At I believe, MacDonald St it is now the home of a car restorers group. It will fill hours for you.

    I just watched Mighty Planes on tv and noticed that the 707 aircraft flown by Omega was labelled in large letters at the front door as EXPERIMENTAL. Just how big can experimental be? The aircraft was conducting inflight refuelling with the marines on training missions.

    The WASPs were issued a handbook about A5 with about 3 pages on each of all of the possible aircraft that they could encounter from single to 4 engine. They transported aircraft to units which then did the final service before being allocated to theatre. They flew the aircraft with all sorts of unservicabilities too.We think we face difficulties.

    Interestingly, AOPA is also theAustralian Orthotic Prosthetic Association. Do we progress from one to the other?

    Well done to pickup the anomaly Ian. I also saw the hacked screen but as you shut the site I assumed that you were onto it.

    If this upsets you go to the boneyard in AMARG Arizona. Great museum then a bus trip through the aircraft lines.

    Hi Diddy, I fly with bifocals shaped like aviators. These have a small reading section only and suit looking down to the instruments or iPad then looking outside without moving my head a lot. I have a clear pair as well as a pair with transitions lenses. On very bright days the transitions however go very dark and make reading the instruments difficult. Maybe a fixed polarised type coating may be preferable. Safe landings.

    Anyone have a number for Dick Smith or someone of that financial status who might assist an Australian aviation cause?

    Who is going to make spares for the Jab engines now in service if Camit is closed? I am sure that Jabiru do not hold a large stock of heads and cylinders for the current engines into the forthcoming years.

    Your question is correct Robbins. Busying about before driving to MEL and ran update without thinking. It just means an hour or so to re email myself with the images. I hope the other responders continue to have perfect updates.

    I have the information on other devices but this selection was for when I am away from my desk.

    I updated my iPad to 10.2 today and most importantly lost 3 years of important photos and screen shots. There are other "improvements" as well. Beware.

    From post 2 the link HOME opens to a price list. There is a price for a 912 but who knows what variations.

    I saw the movie tonight. Great documentary with interesting cultural back story. Wonderful video but dodgy airmanship. Q&A at the end suggested our friends at CASA counselled them big time. There is a 5 part series to screen on SBS in November. If it is as good as the movie then worthy of a look.
