Come on Gilly, I found the news clip but didn't play it to confirm the name. I should of known being ex RAAF and have talked to another ex RAAFie who used to be a Roulette pilot about them.
I'm too crook to sit on the computer all day and I look like having tomorrow off because of it so could you do me a favour and ask a question please. :Y:
Thank you
Cheers

The C-27 Spartans (also known as mini hercs) are performing better than expected Doug, their purchase received a bit of flack after most other countries cancelled their orders but indications are that they will serve our country well. I am not sure that I would want to try and land a 30t plane on a public road with gusting cross winds but the exercise proved it can be done. On the same exercise the plane was also landed on a sand strip (not dirt) that a farmer dozed in a creek bed for the occasion, this was also a first for the plane.
Magilla no problem for blokes with the skill levels like your son. Tell him I'm jealous as hell as it would have been a great adrenalin hit ............. and also to him well done :Y:

Here is an interesting update to a question I put up a couple of years ago about the Somerton Man
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-...se-could-be-one-step-closer-to-solved/9245512
The case is still open but it is possibly getting closer to finding out who he was
