Log : Museum/preserved In Vic

[Judwin]

Day 4 was spent between East Sale and Melbourne. I'll list everything this time becasue there can't be too much sensitive information about PC9's the Roulettes use - can there?

The other S-2's were still in their hangar, but we didn't ask to go in this time because we saw them all on our last trip 2 years ago. Apparantly they all need to be gone by Christmas this year.

A2-767 UH-1 pres pole

We also visited the local army barracks in search of the 3 Macchis that were supposed to be stored there. Nothing found. We then asked about them at the RSL. A quick phone call revealed they now have 5 Macchis, but they said that their current location is a secret, and refused to tell us. They did state that 3 were being restored for display, and the other two would go somewhere else - also a secret. The bloke seemed to enjoy teasing us about them, but wouldn't reveal their current location.

I hope that you had previously visited Point Cook and Moorabbin and not missed out on these two!

Yep - went to both two years ago, and also to Avalon to get the Canberra there.

Got the two speeding tickets from the camera on some bridge to prove it :angry: Wasn't me driving, but apparantly as a special treat it was double demerit day, so the person thjat was driving isn't in any rush to return there.

PS : Why doesn't Quote and/or Bold work?
