One Saturday afternoon at Luskintyre and a pilot wanting to do his BFR on a Tiger Moth was out of luck when the old girl stubbornly refused to start.



What to do? well, they solved the problem brilliantly with this. The Tiger's Belgian cousin, a Stampe SV.4.

ps. I have no idea why they came out small like this. Perhaps some of our more computer savvy members could fix it for me. Pretty please!

Oh I know what I'd choose between these two in a second - the Stampe!

Lovely pic's. The photos seem small in your Photobucket - photo resolution perhaps?

Was this you? Supremely jealous if you've flown a Stampe.

Cheers

Adam

And some more. This one was taken at the Hunter Region Westpac rescue Helicopter base at Broadmeadow some years ago. There was a group of disabled young people having a look over the chopper at the time. This is the Bell 412.



Now a couple of the service's BK-117 landing and taking off and on the helipad at John Hunter Hospital.

G'day Adam. No that was me taking the pic. I've never been up in a Stampe. Tiger Moth is the most exotic biplane I've been up in. Matter of fact it's the only type of biplane I've been up in. There is however a Bucker Jungmann based at Luskintyre and someday I hope to coax the owner into taking me up in it. Even more exotic than a Stampe. And I've found some more pics of Chippies. Here you go. These are a trio of Chippies landing at Watts Bridge in 2010 (I think).









And a couple of Yaks



This one is painted to honour one of our glorious girls, Lydia Litvyak. It's a Yak-18T. Another recommnedation to the Central Committee for the honourabl;e owner of this product of heroic Soviet labour comrades.





Now one of the interior of our glorious hero Lydia's Yak.



The party hopes this will keep you going for a little while Comrade Adam.

ps. There'll be more later this afternoon. I have to go and visit a mate who a patient in the hospice at work. He's been a great inspiration to me over the last 8 years or so at work. He still has his cheeky sense of humour even though he knows this is pretty well his last stop here on earth.

Great shots Ross, thanks for sharing
