Oi, if anyone's going to lower the tone around here, it's usually me! ;D I hope you all have a great time at the airshow, guys - and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the weather is good too. Enjoy the Pig display!

Sad to say I am going to miss the show Dave but have a great day and say hello to the S&S boys. I take it they are have their usual big display of liferafts and survival gear . I remember a big airshow at Ohakea in 1981 where they had rigged it up with a strikemaster in the hangar showing the different aspects of ejection. They had the bloke 1/2 way up the rails with his hands on the ring, then another part where he was in the air and the parachute starting to unravel and another as he was seperating from the seat etc
Looked quite good so one year I did something along those lines with a lindholme ( air droppable air sea rescue apparatus) (10 seater liferaft with survival containers) I had it just as it dropped from the bomb bay, then falling then all inflated . We also had an old boeing 42 seater which we filled with water and smal single seaters floating around etc. From memory we actually had kids sitting in the single seaters paddling around etc. Just as well we did not get a visit from the council regards fencing of pools.
now you guys, don't get lost or the nice ladies at the lost kiddies tent will have to look after you.

Nah, Nowra in about April 2001. The A-4 is under the carport and the doors in the background were the new hangar bays for the helicopters. Best 34 minutes of my life just about, and I have the HUD tape too...
