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).
