Here's a feel good story.
Congratulations Hars, and to Geoff Timms (Timmsy - one of our own) and kudos to Airservices for their $30k grant. http://youtu.be/praWe8MLCUY Quote:

This is great news, so credit to Air Services Australia for their generous $30,000 donation - I can't wait to see the replica completed. I remember visiting the
Southern Cross Memorial at Eagle Farm airport in Brisbane as a seven year old, and Sir Charles Kingsford Smith flying achievements have always been an inspiration. I shot this image of a Southern Cross replica on the 6th January 1987 at Essendon Airport. Other information suggests that the HARS replica was built around 1987, and then toured the country to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Being in such poor condition at the time, this may be another replica and any information would be greatly appreciated. ![]() The HARS replica VH-USU at the Avalon Air Show in 1992 ![]()

The South Australia replica was used for the opening of the third runway at Sydney (Kingsford Smith) Airport on 4th November, 1994. I pretty sure that this is the aircraft that lost a wheel (as mentioned in the video) is the one that HARS is now repairing.

I think there were two replicas built for the TV series "A Thousand Skies".
One was flying and the other static. I remember seeing one in Oakey, at the Army museum some years ago. |
