Ok I dusted off the albums....
Below is a picture of the two Neptunes I was talking about before.
It was in 1991! About 3 yrs later it appeared as a gate guardian.
So have to revise it to 1994... mind isnt what it used to be.
Also scanned this one...
A picture of a Canberra bomber from 1992.
This aircraft once belonged to NO2 SQN.
It had been sold to someone in the USA.
The picture was at the International Terminal at Townsville and the aircraft had returned to Australia (via guam) from the USA for an airshow down south.
A couple of old aircraft engineers who worked in the civvy side of the airport were ex RAAF and actually worked at NO2 SQN as LAMEs and that very aircraft, were happy to inspect it and give heaps of advice to the pilot... lol
