  What a great way to spend ANZAC day. Out at the field flying. The weather was perfect and with a good turn out it was on with the mayhem.......

Lets get all the Drama out of the way first.


First up Dennis had a bit of a problem with the Sopwith
as the covering started to part with the fuse and then
it was all over. What a sad way to see the end of this
beautiful aeroplane.


Just to keep the carnage going Dennis then had an engine failure on
take off which resulted in a forced landing of his sleek Pc9.


 
 
Damage luckily was limited to the undercarriage. I am sure those
wheels are not supposed to face that way.

 
 
Next up Bob thought he had better modify his Pc9..
 
 
 
 
Cameron thought it was time to give the Sky Mule a bit of a makeover.
Now that looks ugly...
 
 
James had had enough of his trainer and thought it would fly better
 in a few pieces..


OOOuch.
 
 
 
Now what has caught the attention of the crowd????
 
 
 
 
Dennis has come out to play. The first flight of a jet at the new field.
 


Lined up and after  Dennis  has said a few prays he is ready to go..
 


Safely airborne and what a fantastic sight and sound it is.
You have to admit those jets are just the stuff.
 



Just to top off a fantastic flight Dennis nails the landing with a silky smooth touch.

 
 
Showing off Billy had a few great flight of his Cap and I hear all
is in readiness for the first flight of P51 Glamorous Glenn.
 
 
 
Greg put on a flawless display with his Ultimate.
 
Bob pulled out his reserve aircraft The super Cub. I am not sure if he managed to get it flying or not
but it sure does look great.
 

 
 
 
Next up Jack has finished his Pc9 and after some engine glitches
managed to maiden it with out any further trouble.       
Well done Jack great effort..

 
 
Anthony (the Prez) had some good flights of his Bi-plane PT-17

Looks the business in the air.
 



Nice landing too..

 
 
End of the day and the field is looking a picture.
 
 
 
The Boys still managed a wash up meeting at the end.
 
See you all next week and we hope the weather is again as kind as it was today.
Sausage sizzle and unveiling of our new club shirts this week so
come on down for a great day.
