The first part of a flight from Wollongong to Jervis Bay JYBY, in the Firefly.

Taxying out at YWOL. I had better not act like a clown here.

I had an eventful flight on VH-OJA 23rd Sep 1992 from Melbourne to Bangkok.30 minutes after passing Darwin there was a call "is there a doctor on the plane?"  15 minutes later we turned back to Darwin and then had to wait for the re fueler as there were no planes scheduled that night. Apparently one of the cabin crew was taken ill. Over 4 hours late and lucky that the missus was still waiting for me at Don Mueang!

I have been on this one too but only a walk through on the ground at the Mildura Air Show in 1996.

How about this. Look at the mirror that actually shows the true reflection. Well done Bravo Zulu.

Off at last, the Griffon sounds very nice especially at start up.

A low pass before heading south.

Landed at Wollongong in a T-6 this morning Martyn. Did I see you there?

Beautiful shots of that Firefly wing and the local sights!

cheers

I am sure that was you waving your fist at me as you disappeared into my smoke on start up!:lol:

The wing fold is very nicely reproduced, a wonderful addition to my collection.;)

This was an excellent set Martyn!  I loved the taxing with the wings folded back, I didn't know it could do that.  And the low pass was awesome, and that hangar shot was really cool.  All well done, liked them all my friend!

Thank you Jack, glad you liked!
