I think that if one of the other Moderators had shut it down, then fair enough, and I actually think that that is what should have happened in this case.

However this way there will always be some questions raised whether justified or not.

I believe there is film of the murder of Implacable. The stern Gallery and figurehead were removed and now reside in the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich. I keep meaning to head over to Port Adelaide and get on one of the tours of the ship. When I do I will post some photos.

Yes ouch indeed! There should be video as that plane almost has more cameras than horsepower. Would be very interesting to see. I wounder what the surface wind was at the time?

Ok, just read the rest of the FaceBook article and I think the pertinent question is what was the density altitude at the time? On a hot day here in Oz mine has marginal climb performance from an 1800′ AMSL strip so a 5000′ AMSL Desert Strip would be interesting.

Although I am on your side of town so to speak Ewan, a quick trip down to Melbourne is still six and a half hours worth in the car! Maybe next year?
Hope it all goes well.

The sort of thing the Shuttleworth collection should be buying, and restoring with the correct engine.

Perish the thought that a country other than the UK should have any exotic historic aircraft!

The term you are looking for Colin is “Day for Night”. It uses lots of filters and low exposure times.

I think you mean HARS Cees?

Thanks Propstrike, I did find a Thread on here from 2004 that had some details and picks. There seems to be some contention about its use in “The War Lover” though. I have some photos of it taken by my Dad somewhere.

I also found an article from Flight magazine about flying in the film https://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1963/1963%20-%201742.PDF where Roy Stevens is listed as co pilot!

Cheers,

Steve
