Found on the internet - otherwise I have no information: “Pay's Flying Museum www.new-england-hway.com.au/scone.htm At Scone airport along the Bunnan /Merriwa Road there is the largest museum of actual flying Warbirds in Australia. Col Pay's collection includes many vintage models of which there are only a few left in the world. (Inspections by arrangement)” Phil. |

Good work, Phil.  I've always wonder if Col had any sort of display of his aircraft set up, and it might give me an excuse to visit Scone one day. |

Maybe call in to Luskintyre Tiger Moths on the way? Well worth the visit on the first Saturday of each month for lunch.  |

Here's one I took of Col's P40 from Temora's Wirraway - we had about a 60 kt speed differential. The P40 could clearly be heard as Col opened the throttle to get out of there as he passed us.  |

Brilliant photo Keith, that Hornet looks like it's struggling a bit to stay in formation. The P40 is a beautiful aeroplane.

Brilliant photo Keith, that Hornet looks like it's struggling a bit to stay in formation. The P40 is a beautiful aeroplane. Darren in the Meteor was really juggling to stay in and Simmo in the Hornet was having a very hard time. We briefed four passes - up and down sun so I could do both video and stills. They could have matched our speed but the Hornet would have been standing on it's tail and the Meteor below single engine safety speed. It was one of the more challenging shooting situations, they seemed to approach slowly but absolutely flashed past. We all agreed a faster camera aircraft would be the go next time. Generally I like the Wirraway because the rear seat will turn backward and the entire rear canopy can be removed, although the coaming is a little high for a large video camera which makes it difficult to shoot low without some part being in the slipstream. |
