I have met Noel. Interesting chap with heaps of flying experience (including test pilot for Alpha when they existed). He also use to own the Sydney aerobatic school. One of his favourites was the Siai Marchetti SF 260. They had one in the school fleet until someone pranged it. Another favourite of his was the Caribou.

Btw that Mustang shot a couple of pages back was brilliant

VH-BKS doing a short Beat up over the Hospital before Landing approx 4.50pm video is C**P but anyway.

VH-BKS now headed back to Ardmore presently.

I think I saw that helicopter at Ardmore yesterday, didn't think it looked like a local.

out of it

I'm liking those Mossie shot more and more , only thing missing is the ground fire .

Doug , back before Wiggy was close , skydivers were a regular thing on the good day .... one case , GB had given a couple jumping tandems they would never forget !

Was passing by Hamilton AP yesterday and spotted the older generation B200's parked outside Aeromotive, popped into the aero-club car-park to grab a couple of pics.
Sorry, quality not up to HW's standard, all shot on my phone. Was pretty crazy weather out there though these shots dont show it, the wee 150 and the Alphas were all really straining at their tie-downs, they were actually close to lifting off the ground in some of the gusts...
