Excellent job, here's what you started with.

lynx42 · #92 24-01-08, 02:18

And this is the other one. My lynx is what's all over the raised bit over the fence, and in the hawthorn bush in front.

Absolutely, and also those guys West and North of the border, too! The Moat to the East will keep us safe from that direction.

"Navigator to Pilot, Target Lithgow below us, commence descent..."

G'day All, Tony that was the thought I had in the back of my mind, but some time had passed and long time no see (in person), well they will be put to good use, can I come over during the weekend and tow it home behind my Gunbuggy LOL, and be careful it would appear that the Mexican's have learned to fly/commandeer aircraft

cheers mate Dennis

Nice work, Tony!

I know what the aircraft is - I wonder who else can guess?

phoenix · #**102** 25-01-08, 04:25

Mmm, looks a bit like a Miles design.

Keith Webb · #**103** 25-01-08, 06:39

Nope. Nice try.

Keith,

Sorry I should have been more specific - I was referring to the towing aircraft, but you can also have a go at the cockpit which is not an Anson.

Dinty · #**106** 26-01-08, 03:13

G'day All, The cockpit shot is in a Hudson LOL that was too easy, the other well ??? cheers Dennis

Could it be a typhoon??

Yes, a Hudson is correct and you're on the right track with the Typhoon - to give a big clue to tell you same desert different tent.

Could well be - it was a C60L.

colin jones · #**112** 03-08-08, 11:17

Well look at that, those bloody border raiders are at it again. I saw this and had to take some pics or should I say evidence?

ron · #**113** 03-08-08, 11:58

Hi Colin,
Well done mate,there were nine there awhile ago when I saw them I know where the other two went, well you have some bits and pieces now, I thought that the one with the number nine on it was the pick of the bunch, did you get the front armour it was there,most of the bits were there for that one, at least they have gone to a good home,
Regards Ron

lynx42 · #**114** 03-08-08, 12:01

I don't mind where they are going, so long as they are not going to the SCRAPPIE. Whats the gun on top of the load?
Rick

colin jones · #**115** 03-08-08, 12:03

Hi Ron, I think at last count there is nine.
Colin.

colin jones · #**116** 03-08-08, 12:05

Hi Rick, gun is 2 pounder, or part of.
Colin

ron · #**117** 03-08-08, 12:06

Hi Rick,
Well put, we are doing our bit up here to beat the scrappies and Colin is doing a great job, down in Crow eater land,
Keep up the good work boys,
Regards, Ron

colin jones · #**118** 03-08-08, 12:11

What I do need if anyone can help is any information as in pictures, drawings or anything that would help in the restoration of the vickers light tank to running condition.
Colin.

lynx42 · #**119** 03-08-08, 12:19

G'day Colin,
The gun is not the one from the Col Anderson Sale a couple of years ago, is it? Just looks a bit like it .
Rick

ron · #**120** 03-08-08, 12:21

Hi Colin,
You beat me to my next question, I was going to ask you if you had got that one also,well done.
Regards, Ron
