Following this tread - it appears we are talking about 3 different aircraft GSF - GSB (at Temora) - and the one at Forbes (unidentified).
Derek - which aircraft are you commenting on? SDF -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Ruddock Sent: Tuesday, 13 January 2004 8:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] glider wanted That partcular Hornet is covered with half an inch of combined red dust and bird crap, has 2800 hours and 1700 plus landings and last flew 18 years ago. Never mind about taking the chute straight to the tip, I'd take the glider straight to the tip, it would cost too much to get back in the air (unless you could do it yourself & are a masochist) >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/01/04 8:15:10 >>> There is STILL a Hornet / Mosquito sitting in the back of the hangar at Forbes. It has been there for around 17 years now, if I remember the dates in the DI book. It was flown for a test flight way back then and never flown again. It has been in the one spot so long that the tyre walls on the trailer have started to harden and disintegrate. Apparently the bloke bought it, but never flew it much. Several attempts over the years to buy it from him were unsuccessful. I think it was a case of too much money and not enough sense. Good luck if you can get hold of this one.
