  12. Yes - I think Point Cook is 24hrs PPR as it is military. Penfield is also PPR for non-airfield residents. And as a member of the Friends of RAAF Museum at Point Cook I can thoroughly recommend a visit to the museum :big_grin: Cheers Neil
  13. Hi Motz, If you can't make Bacchus for some reason then Penfield (Sunbury) is where I fly from, it's about 40 minutes drive from where I live in Hoppers. Drop me a reply and I can fill you in and probably pick you up from there if you need. Cheers Neil
  14. Hi Brendon, I live at Hoppers and fly out of Penfield (Sunbury) - it's about a 40 minute drive. I did my training there and now have part ownership of a Gazelle hangared there. Drop me a reply if you would like to come out and look around. Always good to have a few options to consider.... Cheers Neil
  15. Hi Winsor, Congratulations to the pair of you! :clap2: Excellent news. Hope you have a brilliant time. Cheers Neil
  16. Ross! Hope you enjoy the site - lots of good stuff here. Cheers Neil
  17. Hi Paul, I co-own a Gazelle with a friend, and had the following question. It would be great if you could assist. The edge of some of the fabric on top of the wing of the Gazelle is just starting to lift. It is only a bit at the moment (about a quarter of an inch or so - on top of a rib next to the tank), but obviously the longer we leave it the more it will lift off. I was wondering what you would recommend as the best way to stick it back down again? Is there some particular glue we should use, or some other technique to fix it back down? If it would be better I can send you some photos if you care to let me have your email address. Thanks! Neil
  18. Ooops - typo there , Chird65, Penfield (Sunbury) is YPEF....but I will let you off as you fly a Gazelle Cheers Neil
  19. Hi Tim & . I am sure you will find lots of useful info on these forums and this site. If you are central Vic which airfield do you fly from? Cheers Neil
  20. Good on 'im!! I hope they show a clip of him making that first flight as inspiration to others....
  21. Well done, Tomo!! Great stuff, and lovely plane too, I'm not really green with envy at all...... Cheers Neil
  22. Hi Winsor, My mum, who lives in the UK, has a propellor from a BE2A/B in her lounge! My gran on my dad's side bought it from Camden market many decades ago with the intention of drilling holes in the blades, putting in pegs, and using it as a hat stand - but thankfully she never got round to it! Round the hub it says 70 HP Renault, which was the engine in the BE2A and B. Makes a good talking point! More info on BE2s at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Aircraft_Factory_B.E.2 BTW were you aware that Andrew Willox, who edits the Friends of the RAAF Museum magazine, is building a replica BE2A (non-flying) which he hopes will be completed in 2013 in time for the Point Cook centenary? You should plan to come over and see it!! Cheers Neil
  23. Tally Ho, Biggles! Bandits at 6 o'clock!
  24. .....Or maybe in the mental haze they just THINK they're cashed up
