Guten tag, danke Greg, sehre gute video, wonderbah!

From a pilots perspective a good indication of the thrill of the things and explains the permanent scarring to my legs trying to get the thing to turn!

Very motivational however, better dust her off pigeon for the narrandera show, and talking of show, hookster get working on the glider for the ski show, could be fun in a Viking costume!

Cheers

Similar have been to Goolwa back in the day, not sure about the 2 person crew though.

Chivs in keeping with the era I should rig up a camera on my radio controlled Tiger Moth, but it's such a prick of a thing to fly - its under powered and flops about all over the place so the footage would make us nauseous. Having said that, because it's such a mongrel in the air, I would be prepared to sacrifice it - maybe a game of chicken - Hydro vs Tiger Moth. That's if I can keep it close enough to the water long enough to coordinate a head on collision with a skiing Viking. It'd be bloody well worth it

Yep , they are definitely the bees knees so to speak .

Great photos Dave, would love to add a couple of those to the collection.

Thanks Stuart, this one reminds me of Jupiter. Chris, note the padding down the sides.
I've also been wondering about the NSW rego on "Boomerang" as most club regos are the intials of the club, where is the F U club??
