Is anybody watching the series on History called Air Australia? It is about Australias Aviation History. I am watching episode 1 now and episode 2 is tomorrow. Hopefully they can go into the jet era. Right now it is following Mcguinnes (spelling) trying to start his airline.

Whats the little black jet in your last lot of pics Simon, I can pick the F-15 (Strike)Eagle and the C-130 Hercules, but unsure of the little black fast mover. Is it a A-4 Skyhawk??
Been taking the camera gear to work lately in the hope of getting some shots of the local Air Tractor fleet in action, so far haven't been stopped near any working.

Been a while since this thread has been posted in. Got some new arrivals to add tonight. I am also going to be displaying all my aircraft at a local Hobby Expo in 2 weeks time.

Have always loved that shot Simon. It's a bit deceptive, but still looks awesome!

Not wrong. You'd think Amberley putting one a public open day would be the polite thing to do....ah well.
The 6SQN F111 model should be turning up here soon, can't wait
