Sarnia Sabre Down for Refurb

[Rheged]

Label it "temporary replacement"  and I can't see anyone getting stroppy about it.

A sign underneath saying "Sorry but the steam cleaning shrank it." might be humorous.

Actually, maybe you need this near 1/6 scale one instead ----

Thanks for the suggestions guys ! LOL. I was actually after a 32nd scale one but since my LHS guy isn't going for it I'm not paying the big bucks for a large scale bird. Unless I can find a cheap one.....

A bit of bog and a lick of paint and she'll be flying again in no time.   

Up the road from me in Dandenong they have a Huey on a stick outside the RSL (Returned and Services League).
One side has Aussie markings, the other US.

[Captain Canada]

That Huey looks awesome ! looks like she's coming in to land

[zenrat]

Most RSLs have a piece of retired military equipment outside them.  Artillery is very common and you see the odd tank but as far as I know Dandenong is the only one with an aircraft.
As you approach from the North the road drops so it appears to rise as get closer.
I haven't driven that way for ages.  I must make a detour next time i'm in the area.

It needs one of these to tag along ---

[Captain Canada]

Nothing better than a good ol' fashioned Cobra ! Love that chopper !

I used to photograph every monument, memorial and piece of artillery I saw in my travels. Have to gather up my collection sometime and sort it out. I love that stuff, and I fear our generation may be one of the last to appreciate it, or it's true meaning.....

It's at the entrance of the Yuma Proving Grounds Todd, across the road from it is a park full of armoured vehiches.


You might have seen this one then on your travels  --- Yellowknife ---

[Captain Canada]

Not yet...someday I hope ! We had the Alaska and Norman Wells work, but I like being home for the boy and moto in the summer....

[Captain Canada]

She's back in all her glory ! Lovely job by the folk who fixed her all up again.

[NARSES2]

They look to have done a good job 

[Captain Canada]

Ya they've done a really nice job on her Chris. I was at the park last night watching a friends kids play footie, and the thunderstorm clouds rolling in behind her would have made for an excellent photo.

In other news, this weekend ( on the 31st ) they are rededicating her, flyovers by the Golden Hawk Sabre piloted by Chris Hadfield, maybe a Vampire and some T-33s, as well as some Harvards. We will nbe out of town at a race but hoping somebody will be there to take a few pics.

....... flyovers by the Golden Hawk Sabre piloted by Chris Hadfield.......

That'll be a MEGA-low altitude flight for him!
