There was a heap of educational videos, interactive flights, sit in replicas and other stuff.
The main attraction was the actual Avro baby which he flew Sydney to bundaberg
Attachment 20351
There is also a replica which you can sit in with controls. Amazing how simple these thing were.
The glider which he built when he was 19 and flew off Bundy beach. The cockpit was his mothers ironing board...haha

It was a top place to learn about a great Australian from Bundaberg
Few of his other planes

thanks for the updates!!
Is it possible to plumb in an extended drain terminating with a tap, to drain the filter, leaving the main drain tap on?
there would be a risk of it falling off and causing a drama, so maybe only temp, for highway use and of course only if it can be adequately secured?
Yeah possibly could do something along those lines.Quote:

thanks, looks interesting. Vital to protect those high pressure components in CRD systems, I gather.
A bit different to the old fashioned carby TB42 - add a bit of methanol or ethanol to keep small amounts of water mixed in with the fuel and flowing through the filters. Only works with smallish amounts of water. I have long thought about installing a water trap/filter on Silver. Also, something on the tinny, but the tinny is 2 stroke. Apparently there are elements especially for 2 strokes to allow the oil through.
Oops, if that is a hijack, sorry!
That Bundy shop is clever clever marketing. Bundy was not one of my vices until I went there, and had that liquer, maybe over icecream. Yummo, and the door was opened to the distinctive flavour of the other drinks. Hooked :-)
Those are great underwater photos - to save me going back through the pages, you were using a DSLR and an underwater housing? You have produced some great piccies.
yeah got some of that liquer and yes it is very nice:).Quote:

That's all plastic, yeah? Park it facing the sun when it gets hot you will be able to push it out.

Yeah, boiling water would do the same but don't tell the missus that .... HahahahahQuote:

Personally I like the ones I have recently seen from offroad division. They are more prominent on the other patrol forum, but it's all about the end result?
Can you say 'rear winch bar?!!
Tipsy-tap
Think you'd be silly to not go with the Millweld rear bar, they are a work of art! Can get twin wheel holder or wheel and jerry.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2012/10/28.jpg
Just tell the missus it will make the car more comfortable to drive and she'll love it.
I thought the Ettamogah Pub was just North of Albury LOLQuote:
