  1. The Highest Paid Lawyers work for the Biggest Criminals. Nev
  2. Glady's Boy friend looks like copping it . The "ordinary Person" Cannot afford a Lawyer and have His day in court . In any case you won't get Justice. ONLY LAW Nev
  3. Always get a second opinion. With flying.... If there's any doubt check it out. Nev
  4. Is SIN Ugly? I will have to be more careful. Nev
  5. They were supposed to be a Land a Matic at the time. Nev
  6. Nice to know they are OK and see the People running to help. Looks like a pretty good dual X Country exercise to do. Nev
  7. You like to think your choice is good.. People get attached to their Plane, car or Motorbike. Nev
  8. I spent a bit of time looking it up. I had NO IDEA. Nev
  9. Looks as though it was getting Plenty of work. It had come from the North after getting there around the West of Sydney. Good thing the Motor didn't fail over the water. I never liked crossing Broken Bay. Nev
  10. I don't think it can be economically repaired by the looks of it. The OWNER had it on line at Shellharbour. Mona Vale is well up the Sydney North Shore just before you cross Broken Bay. Nev
  11. Don't let ME worry you space. DM I think is internet talk. Nev
  12. Looks pretty well constructed. (Typical vans). Marty, Note the rounded Cornered Fuselage. (as is a DH Beaver). I'd have one (RV-15). Can't see why NO dorsal fin. Many planes end up adding them. Nev
  13. MSG is Mono Sodium Glutamate or could even Mean MASSAGE. (The Mind Boggles). Nev
  14. I don't think the Drover was based totally on a Dove. It was built only for Australia in 49 I think with 3x 10 Mk2 145HP DH 4 cylinder Motors no superchargers. Used by air ambulance services. Fixed undercarriage and TAILWheel The TAIL is very Un DH in shape. TAA had one at least. Not a lot built and they has a less than Auspicious Career. Quite a lot of them Crashed I can only think they were built to a COST Limit eventually re-engined with Lycoming 180 HP IO 360 motors with CS props .The Doves and Herons were better Planes by far. Nose wheel and retractable. A few Herons (The 4 engined Variant) had their supercharged gipsy 6's replaced with "Flat" Lycomings saving considerable weight and Probably Maintenance costs. Connair and Tasmanian Airways had Herons as I recall. . One thing interesting I recall from a Drover crash Inquiry. The Judge (Or Coroner as the case May be) said. To one of the technical witnesses." Sir, you said THIS plane Has 3 engines. WHICH SIDE has 2 of them" .I've always remembered that. I Know the Heron was flying in TAS. in the early 90s because I encountered One in Wynyard in FOUL weather when I was doing a C/ME /IFR renewal, check in a Beech Duchess. . Nev
  15. It's a crazy CON cept. A foolish dream. A plane belongs in the air. NOT on the ground any Longer than it HAS to be. Nev.
  16. It could Blow Away the people behind you. Nev
  17. Need a land vehicle for that to pay the trip off... Nev
  18. Called "Thread dredge". Some things are eternal. Nev
  19. That's POWER to the People and they should use it wisely while we can still vote. Nev
  20. Vaccination REDUCES the severity of the Infection I only caught it. ONCE and had near to no symptoms but tested Positive for quite a While, so didn't socialise.. Not any bad effects from the NEEDLE anytime With my eldest son was a different matter He's till ok now but he was in a very exposed situation. One relatives Middle aged son died within 24 hours of catching Covid. It's NOT just another Flu. Nev
  21. The "Liveability and freedoms" are disappearing fast In the Divided Eff the Rules, STATE of the USA. Nev
  22. Without Innoculations we would not have eliminated Small pox controlled TB and Polio to name just a few. Measels are on the rise now and killing children There are strains of Influenza emerging that Kill you in 24 hours. Anti biotics don't work after a while and neve did against a Virus. As a Pilot who might go overseas at the drop of a hat I was innoculated against a lot of things including Yellow fever and Plenty of others as a requirement of being in my Job. Virus's are constantly evolving into different forms I always have the Latest Flu Vaccine as soon as I'm due for it. My medical people are not the type who would recommend stuff to get the Kickbacks' you may find that applies more to Pharmaceuticals. ANTI Biotics have Large side effects including destroying the GOOD gut bugs that you must look after Without vaccines millions more People would have DIED from Covid and many have LONG term issues as a result of catching it. Look what happened in Places where it wasn't done well or not at all (Brazil) Australia is One place that Infection wise came out of it pretty well . RFK Jr would be OK with you. planey? There's one thing for certain and that is we will have More PANDEMICS and without Immunisation We will die in Large Numbers and the attitude of the Anti vaxxers is counter to being Properly prepared. AFTER WW1, FLU Killed many more People than were killed in the WAR. Covid and Flu are still around. Nev
