Bankstown 16th March 2013
Some good weather for a change, so a trip out to Bankstown was in order.
Fairly quite early on, then some reasonable action later in the morning. King Air 350 N412KA was outside the Hawker Pacific hanger with the cowl removed from the port engine. One of the engineers took the aircraft out for a taxi and then back to the same parking spot (engine test maybe). EC135 Polair 4 VH-PHM was towed back into the hanger opposite the Police Air Wing operations hanger, and a Hawker owned Diamond 40 with special decals along the side was parked outside their hanger (maybe done for Avalon). VH-SSZ Cessna 650 (650-0158) 1988 operated by Sundyne Pty Ltd - a regular visitor I see on ADS-B  VH-SSZ Cessna 650 (650-0158) 1988 operated by Sundyne Pty Ltd  VH-SSZ Cessna 650 (650-0158) 1988 operated by Sundyne Pty Ltd  VH-PWX Cessna 510 (510-0269) 2009 Mustang operated by Flight Options Pty Ltd  VH-AGG Piper 76 Duchess (ME-393) 1981 operated by Basair Australia  VH-EFI Diamond 40 (40.1172) 2013 owner by Hawker Pacific - decals from Avalon maybe  VH-EFI Diamond 40 (40.1172) 2013 owned by Hawker Pacific  N412KA Beech 350 2008 owned by Harker Pacific  N412KA Beech 350 2008 owned by Harker Pacific  N412KA Beech 350 2008 owned by Harker Pacific  VH-IAB Beech G36 Bonanza (E-3922) 2009 operated by Gratemat Pty Ltd  An old Embraer Bandeirante from the 1970-80s - no identification  VH-HFP Robinson R22 Beta (4303) 2007 operated by Nimvale Pty Ltd  VH-HFP Robinson R22 Beta (4303) 2007 operated by Nimvale Pty Ltd  VH-BRH Beech J50 Twin Bonanza (JH163) 1962 and privately owned

Nice pix Grahame. I did some of my Class 1 Instrument rating in the early 80's in AGG. I then instructed in it occasionally in the late 80's.
It must be getting on in age now

Hi Grahame,
I think the Bandit is one of the 3 Aerolink purchased in the late 90's from Pacific Island Air in Saipan. 2 of the Bandits were flyable and the 3rd (this 1) came out on a boat, and was to be used for spares. From memory they were 3 of the last Bandits built.

Have done heaps of them with work jarse.
It's quiet nerve racking standing next to running helo with a fuel hose running over your shoulder. Do they have some sort of fire unit standing by just in case?
