Temora- Warbirds Downunder 2013
 

Temora Aviation Museum is hosting their Warbirds Downunder 2013 on Saturday November 2nd at the Temora aerodrome. http://www.aviationmuseum.com.au/war...ownunder_2013/



We are hoping to have a large attendance of military vehicles.
There has been a lot of interest from other clubs including the Victorian Military Vehicle Corps, AMVCS, Australian Military Equipment Collectors, Australian Armoured Vehicle Association, World War 2 Jeeps and independent owners of military vehicles.

Peter Harper and the Temora Aviation Museum agree to offer each vehicle two free admissions, this offer only stands for the ex-military vehicles as they are what the Museum feels will add the most value to their day.


We need to get an idea of people and vehicle attending.



I already have a list of people and vehicles and we need to get this organised probably by the end of September. With camping I will also require details and at this stage I will be camping at the Airport. Camping should be available from Friday to Monday so please be specific with the days you require.

Send me an email if you are interested. kveinc@optusnet.com.au or jan.thompson1@optusnet.com.au

Temora Warbirds
 

How many people are going?

Colin

Temora
 

I'll be there, I know Howard is going... How about you GT?

Attending?
 

Three Quarters of the Holgates will definitely be there!
Us, and about 5,000 others!
Last year was simply AWESOME, and I expect the same this time.

There should be a good roll up of vehicles. There will be a few from Victoria, a number from the WW2 Jeeps, AMEC and the AMVCS. Not sure of exact numbers as I have tickets for the AMVCS and VMVC.

It had to be in harvest
 

Sorry lads,

Temora is smack into harvest and I'll be doing 12 to 15 hour days. We'll be receiving about 12,000 tonnes of Canola at Matong. Hopefully a bit of Malt Barley as well.

If it was on just 2 weeks earlier - not a problem.

Feel free to drop in Keefy for a cup of tea. We'll check the Tare of the Pajero.

Harvest
 

I'll bring some empty sacks for canola. Then what do I do with it?

Five of the Albury Jeeps will be going to Temora, They are tuning a blind eye to my Champ, so I guess that makes it an honoury Jeep for the weekend.
Bit longer than our usual runs, sounds like we will be taking the slow scenic route, staying at Coolamon, where ever that is. Obviously I am not navigating.
Forecast at the moment is 28'/29' and some cloud.
Hope the Catalina makes it, been my favourite aircraft since I was 10, but only seen a Cat. in the air once.

Most of us are camping at the Airfield. Some are arriving Thursday and others on Friday or early Saturday. On Sunday morning we have organised to view Ian Styles vehicle collection at approx. 9am.

Coolamon
 

That's firmly in HOLGATE territory!

Hey
 

What about Elliott territory???

Canola? I'd thought you'd be more interested in the Malt Barley!! :cheers:

Navigation
 

See if you can find your way to Ganmain Richard - with the other lads of course.

Your welcome to drop in!!

Thanks Tony, if you see us in Ganmain it would mean I AM navigating.
Shame you are missing out.
Rich.

You wouldn't be doing too badly then Rich . Only 15kms off :D

Temora
 

We will be leaving Thursday morning and arriving Friday evening via Cann River and returning Monday morning. It should be a great weekend. Staying at the Airport. regards Colin and Joy

MLU Photo
 

Another MLU photo-op perhaps?! Our maybe get together for a feed somewhere? Friday night/Sunday lunch?
H :confused

Good idea
 

At this stage I will be departing early Sunday to get to another shoot, but there is a possibility I may stay longer if there are still veterans to be interviewed.

Facilities at the camp area?
 

Never having been to Temora airport/airfield, what facilities are there at the camping area?

communal BBQ?
Power points for mobile phone or toaster?
Lighting?
Showers/toilets?

Any feedback appreciated

Hi Darren

Because of the Warbirds event and the excess numbers of people attending the camping/van park will be in overflow so access to power may be limited and there may be queues for the facilities.

Gary and I are thinking of doing a pub stay en-route and camping only on Saturday night.
