A few pics from Temora today

sad my sisters 21st at wagga wagga ended up being this coming weekend and not the one just gone - i was so annoyed not to be able to kill 2 birds with one... well you know.

nice pics snowy - thanks.

we were out there in May for the flying weekend and then the highlight for me was seeing a Vampire fly..... but the Sabre would be really something! there's something that just warms my heart about the early centrifugal flow jets that just makes them seem so darned..... amazing. such an in-elegant bit of engineering, but amazing in its own right, and just fantastic to see in service.

i can imagine Frank Whittle thinking.... "now all we have to do is make a great big turbocharger and run it on kerosene...."



and then came the sabre - lightyears ahead back then... and still so far to go... just great!

Hahahahaha, and then the Aussies went and put a Rolls Royce Avon and 2 30mm cannons in it, and had to redesign 70% of the aircraft...Thats like putting a VR6 in a MK1!!

The Australian Avon Sabre is still the most powerful production version of the Sabre produced.

I was initially planning to go but then had some real estate issues to sort out. Was looking forward to some happy snaps with my L series telephoto because I have hardly used it. Oh well, there'll be more days... Have been before and it's truly an AMAZING day out. Looks like the weather held out too!

GREAT pics bud... Thanks for sharing.
