Return to Newcastle
Переглядів 2521 день тому
To Return is to See it for the First Time Another weekend visit to Newcastle NSW to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and once again, Newy did not disappoint. Mother Nature provided a smorgasbord of experiences, from Rain, Sunshine, High Tides and Dolphins enjoying the surf - and of course, Tankers and Tug Boats hit the spot every time.

Travelled back to England to see family and visited the Flying Scotsman at Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Museum for the centenary celebrations. Imagine my surprise, when the Steam Train also in action, was built in my home town of Darlington, presumably at North Road Shops.
Pearl Beach to Lion Island
Переглядів 319 місяців тому
An opportunity to get up close and personal, albeit via Drone, to the wonderful Lion Island, sat off shore from Pearl Beach. Lion Island is located at the mouth to the Hawkesbury River in Broken Bay on the Central Coast of the state of New South Wales, Australia. Lion Island contains the largest population of Australian little penguins in the Sydney area - not that you'll see any in this video.

Spent an awesome morning chasing the Picnic Train between Maitland, Paterson and Oakhampton. We were unable to get to the railway bridge across the Hunter River as the housing estate has grown compared to Google Maps - but we tracked around to Oakhampton and tried from the railway crossing. Paterson Railway Bridge was a much easier experience - there is even a car park next to the bridge - with...
Coffs Harbour & Surrounds
Переглядів 14Рік тому
Spent a week in Coffs Harbour - the harbour itself was quite spectacular but the proximity to the airport reduce capabilities to a minimum, anywhere along the coast. However, I abided by the regulations and still managed to enjoy the experience. Coffs Harbour's economy was once based on timber and agriculture. Over recent decades, tourism has become an increasingly important industry for the ci...

Bogey Hole Blues

Another visit to Newcastle's famous Bogey Hole - the private swimming pool built by convict labour for Lieutenant-Colonel James Thomas Morisset, back in 1820.

The Stream from Cascade Falls

The walk to the Cascade Falls follows the subsequent stream, so this was an opportunity to capture some video - quite a few obstacles so it was not as smooth as I had hope :-( The ambient sounds and bird calls are quite hypnotic so turn up the volume!

    I think I remember that his party piece was to come over the boundary fence of the airfield, flat out down the runway and then begin his display. I watched him practise before the display at RAF Colerne and was rewarded with my waving to a very slow pass down the runway, flaps and u/c down and RH waving from the cockpit. A very lucky moment for me .

    I went to a house party, next day the "chaps" from RAF St Mawgan took me to his workshop it was like your bedroom with airfix models.... but full size. My real treat however later in the day was a spin in the twin seat Spit, but although being dressed for the occasion an oil leak stopped my flight. Sad day and much sadder when I heard he died.

    Check out the engine couling, as it passes under the bridge. Not the same aircraft. Most likely a kit plane called a Twister, which has an elliptical wing and looks just like a spitfire, just smaller. Still a great piece of flying though.

    My dad was a WWII spitfire pilot. He would talk of flying under a bridge…could it be. Where would they have been stationed and i can look up if he was stationed near there. He said a sentry was posted on the bridge to get the planes tag if they went under the bridge…and they would be punished. He certainly was a dare devil. At the end of the war they were running out of refreshments and so he flew a plane, he had never flown before to germany. They arrested him when landing, and sent “refreshments” back home with him. His commander swore he would never get a commission…. He was a small town boy and after the war he just wanted a simple life. I dont think he ever flew again.

    This amazing piece of flying was performed for the tv series “A Piece of Cake” by the legendary Squadron Leader Ray Hanna. It was originally going to be put together with editing but Ray said he would do it for real! There was around 3 feet between the aircraft and the river and between the wingtips and the bridge!! On one occasion Ray displayed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the crowd expected a display above them, not Ray he flew the Spit at full throttle over the start/finish line at zero feet below the top of the grandstand!! Much missed with Mark now RIP both!

      Haha my Dad always said, you can break the Rules but you can not break the Laws (of Physics). If you are going to break the Rules, break them properly; ie., if you are going to fly under the Bridge, do not not fly under the Bridge. :-)

    • @alfaubrom

      Yes it was the Goodwood Revival first year and as part of the official Friday opening where Lord March drove his fathers Earl's Court Car, possibly a Bristol? Ray indeed came around just as the car crossed the start finish line he too crossed the line going counter clockwise at about twenty feet above the track an bang on between the stands an grandstand I guess at a 100 to 150 mph seamed unbelievable at the time I was stood on the bank just before Madjwick so got a good view, it rather set up the high octane day brilliantly. What a noise what a scene, cheers Ray superb Cheers to all.

    There was a Spitfire Bridge over the A30 near Winchester. What better reason for the Philistines and money grubbers to demolish it, being the iconoclastic, history deniers that they are. Spitfires, Merlins and Dakotas just do it for me. I saw Ray Hanna fly, and met Neil Williams up at Blackbushe. I am fortunate to have been around when it was all happening and I had access to it. As for the Spitfire Bridge… God! They were bloody good at what they did. For us.
