Me too. Looks like you’ve almost cornered the market there, AA. I skimmed your first post above, distracted by the photo, and saw South Australia so thought this might have been one of the Gawler airframes until I read it properly (not that I’m up to date with their present situation). Magic machines although I’ve only ever seen the former Lang Kidby globetrotter in the flesh. Just been reading your Australian Flying article from 2011 again and getting all misty-eyed about chasing Avians across the countryside. Looking forward to hearing more of how you’re going. Best of luck.

Fundraising goal is approaching but need to maintain the momentum. Every little bit helps and is very much appreciated.

Onwards and upwards!

I do hope your new logo is going to appear on a t-shirt in the near future. 😉

Very, very lovely.

Yay! Well done Pete and team. Very exciting. Did we work out how long it’s been since a Corsair has flown in Australia?

Superb shot, Brian. Really jumped out at me.

Love the colours on the Red Kite, DCW, and great to see a couple of fine Austers out and about. Always had a soft spot for them. I have no idea why. 😉

Told with exceptional detail, care, skill and humour. I had a chuckle at the pompiers discussing whether to have a foam party and immediately thought (looking at the photo) “There’s lies a man for whom skill, common sense and luck are equalled only by his sense of humour”.

G’day Zac, thanks, mate. It’s a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-19505 (whatever that last bit means). Bought purely for the camera. Does even better when it’s blue skies of course. Still haven’t downloaded the cameras (should take them to work!) but I was only there on the Saturday. Sunday, naturally, was beautiful clear blue skies and some of the members present got great shots of her.

Sounds like you flew her all the way, Moggy. Well done and best wishes.

She made it to Temora for the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia’s annual fly-in (and 40th anniversary). Only a phone photo. Haven’t downloaded the cameras yet.

Beermat, you are a genius. Something was nagging at me re the engine issue but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Barry, as you know, this was the engine used in the DC-3 among others. There’s a few around…

More authentic than a Russian engine in an FW-190 and surmounts a considerable issue. Bloody well done, Beermat. I’ve suddenly become quite excited about this prospect.

a stronger likelihood of reliable, reasonable supply of those for a while

Same can be certainly said for Twin Wasps with costs perhaps being less than a Merlin (??).

More power to you, Barry.

Prettiest aircraft I’ve seen for a while. Well done to the restoration team and thank to the photographers for sharing.

Jamie – they are indeed original rotol blades and they are rare. We do however have another set for SX300 and a set of six for the 46.

Having a moment.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! 😀

Yes, that’s the one, stangman. Macca, I think you might be thinking of the ‘other’ A-26 in the country. I don’t know the ID but she’s with the museum at Bankstown.

You’re a magnificent pagan god, Ross. Really great to see progress i.e. HARS has farmed out some work to push things along a little.
