Bankstown Saturday 28th July 2012

[Grahame Hutchison]

This morning there were four Cessna corporates on the main apron, two Citation 750 X (VP-VPF & VH-RCA), a Citation 510 Mustang, and a Citation 650. At the other end of the spectrum I had a look over Tiger Moth's VH-CCD and VH-AJA, 1942 and 1946 models respectively. There was a little bit of a cool breeze blowing, but the blue skies were a perfect backdrop.

N36715 Beech King Air 350 (FL-415) maybe one of two recently ferried into the country.

VH-XXU Cessna P210N Centurion Silver Eagle (ex N4954K) 1979 operated by Birkdale Holdings. The original 210 was modified to accommodate the Rolls
Royce 250-B17F/2 powerplant and Hartzell HC-B3TF-7A/9212K-2 propellor. It must have an amazing rate of climb.

This information is incorrect.

[Donesh I.]

Amazing pics..Made my day

[Jaryd stock]

This information is incorrect.

What is then because I wanna a shot before it goes...

[Graeme Em]

You need to contact Ralph as what 2 people have posted here is not what he has told me.

[Jaryd stock]

Well that's the whole point of a forum then isn't it, if you know about something, ie "the correct information" then you let people know don't you?

Not having a go just stating the obvious... You don't say something is incorrect and then not give the correct info and leave it at that, I don't know who Ralph is or care, I just want a shot of C-47 in USAAF colours if it's moving or staying no big deal...

[Mick F]

2 people? Who's the other?

[Graeme Em]

Sold for $31,000 to Peter Starr, the guy who owns Dakota National Air.

I'm not here to upset anyone, I'm not at liberty to say what Ralph has told me, you need to contact him for the facts. The above quote is not what he told me.

[Jaryd stock]

I'll apologize Graeme if I seemed rude, if it's not ya info to divulge so be it..

Another question about this C-47, did this aircraft make an appearance at the 1992 or 95 Avalon airshow by any chance ?
Reason being I remember a Dak in USAAF colours at one of those shows most probably at the 92 show....

[Paul f.]

This aircraft has not flown since around 1980,the one you could be thinking of was at the 95 show was VH-CIN in RAAF WW2 livery.
