Did it arrive by air or on a ship?

She flew here out of Coffs Harbour on the east coast, chap told me three hours
on the button, has around 4 hours fuel with the orange bladder you can see in
the bottom two pic's. They are using it for refueling for the job, will go back in
for the ferry back to the mainland.

Didn't get a pic sadly, a new looking XL 750 came through today around 11.30am,
local time, came from the east, Norfolk Island I presume, then took off towards the
west, Ozzieland I presume.

Guessing that would be P2-OMC.
Set out last Saturday 11 July I believe. Flight Radar had it overflying my house later that day but somewhere wires got crossed and eventually I couldn't see exactly where it got to.
Seems as I write this it is transiting north of Rocky.

This XL750 arrived around 10.00am then departed around 12.00pm from Norfolk Island on to the Gold Coast today, eventually destined for Calcutta in India.   This one is a little different in the respect it will be used for photography, this is the hatch the camera will point down from.    |

Have worked out how to post my old pictures with a bit better quality, plan is to post some of my old slides here various types that have passed through Lord Howe Island over the last twenty or so years. The airstrip is around 3,000ft runway 28 points roughly north-west.     Nanchang on her way to NZ flown by her owner Graham Frew. Pretty sure this was one of the first Nanchangs imported into Australia.  I remember I had to switch something to do with starting her while the engine was either cranking or running in the back of the cowl, bit scary, could anyone tell me what I was doing, my vague memory seems to think it was something to do with the compressed air that starts her?!   This AN2 flew from Lithuania to the Coromandel I'm pretty sure!   |

The mighty Hawker Sea Fury, this aeroplane one of the Baghdad Furies has crossed the Tasman on five occasions. Initially for some pylon racing in Tasmania, then when it was sold to an Australian owner than for a Warbirds over Wanaka a few years back.    |
