Moorabbin Air Museum

[Mike K]

The kid who went to the airshow with me was more interested in eating hot dogs than looking at the aeroplanes .We rode our bikes there as we lived in Sandringham , not too far away .

That same kids father was a licensed surveyor and he flew over to King Island many times in that same Anson for work reasons . I think it scared the crap out of him every time he flew in it .

I do recall somebody at that show doing stunt flying a Cessna of all things, he threw it all over the sky and it handled it well .

One of the VMVC members ( unnamed ) was in the ATC during WW2 , his mob, pimple faced youths , all went went down to Sale or Bairnsdale two years running for their annual flight . The first time he went up in a Airspeed Oxford which went OK, the next trip was in a Anson and he said it was vibrating so badly they all thought it was about to fall apart . White faces and ground kissing stuff .
