    Excellent! I look forward to seeing the site back up.:)
    I stumbled upon the other hawkerhind.co.uk site whilst looking at all the things I would like to have, but don’t have the money for on aerovintagespares.com. 🙁

    G’Day Andy,

    I have received my copy of your book in the post and first impressions, it looks great! Unfortunately, it’s going to have to take it’s place in the reading queue….:o
    I will be looking forward to publication of your next effort on the DH9.:)

    Best regards,

    Paul

    Thanks for the Amazon and the obituary links. Sounds like she would’ve been interesting to talk to.

    What a ripper Chitts!:)
    The Avian featured is G-ABEE, which I believe was the last British registered Avian flying and was withdrawn from use due to “fuselage corrosion” in the ’60s. I note with some amusement in this clip, the PIC climbing into the front seat. The Avian, like most Moths, is normally flown from the back….

    With the Auster this required a dive to 200 mph.

    😮

    Now that would be sporting!

    G’Day Stan,

    I was trying to crack a funny (probably not successfully!).

    Anyhoo, she’s a beautifully turned out machine and excellent to hear that she has the NZCAA’s blessing for another year. I hope I can get to go for a ride in her sometime when I am next in your part of the world.:)

    Best regards,

    Book learning….

    Recommended reading for some of the history of these Rabaul aeroplanes is Henry Sakaida’s “The Siege of Rabaul” ISBN 1-883809-09-6.

    It’s a Palmer Aero Wheel, fitted to a number of types. The canvas covers were detachable, hence the writing on the last photo.:)
