Well on ya bike Ian, bloody near killed me, think its was this that saved me .. the THUNDERBIRD machine , the first watch did not get my meaning.

On the return across the ramp I caught with the second watch, I said International Rescue is still here, a THUNDERBIRD machine and I then a good couple of
laughs and then coming up with ideas ... racing down Columbo St chasing the boy racers .. then told is not that fast then mention we put on top do sorts off
harm then Marty, yip just happened to bump into him and course bumped into Greg as well ...

This stage I was really hooking into entertain the troops having Virgil Tracey upstairs driving the machine in his blue IR blues, next Marty grabs me by the
collar telling me to "Settle Down Settle Down" arr all this excitement in around those big things with big grey thing hanging out to the side .

Well I guess we sorted out the name of those stairs James aka: Goingboeing post from the Wanaka transport museum a few days back. Its a ...............

Cool search , now we all know.. a great link !

I knew Caloundra was there of course - it is an easy 2hr drive from my place as I don't have to go through Bris-bunn. So are Caboolture and Redcliffe, but I haven't had an opportunity to visit any of them
Can get there by train, too...Mustapha Luke one day. The Beagle 206 history was an interesting read.

Here are my few shots (worth posting ) i had one of the flatmates camera's ... it was pink , so i didnt want to flash it around to much .
Please note , my shots are a little nondescript .....









And ..... the skinny guy ....

And these ,







I was thinking of Charl when taking the gear shots .... not sure where he is at the moment.

Sorry the pics a so bloody big ..... a pink camera ....

Great Photo's matey .. just who is that skinny guy .. had he worn all grey you would have seen him

Yes Sir.

You lucky Bu66ers !!! What a great day for it too. Awesome shots. Do love that C-17.
Man I really do live in the wrong town, well, HW seems to get to see some interesting aircraft, might have to get on his frequency

Oh, and am VERY RELIEVED you sorted out that Stair-truck. No need to Escalate that issue then <groan> (had to get in before Ian did)

The insides, no not the cockpit .. but places were we are on the norm not allowed - the engineering ... the squeeze and climb into parts.
