Think Stemme are making a side by side trainer
which is a Platypus look a like
G'day from sunny SA,
Our local weekly Balaklava tabloid currently features a promo fill-in on
the "new" VW Bora V5. Curious, since I don't think a new VW
has been permanently resident in Balak since about 1965 and the nearest
dealer would be at least 90Km away. (This here is Falcon and
Commodore country folks .....). Normally it wouldn't rate a
second glance.
However the photo which heads the report shows said vehicle with a
glider and tug in the background, presumably awaiting launch, and an
attractive ridge behind them promising prolonged silent aviation at low
cost. A pleasing scene if ever I saw one .....
I'm curious to know if anyone can claim knowledge of the aircraft
concerned and the location. The glider looks for all the world
like the Platypus (It's a sad reflection on my gliding currency that I can't
be totally confident about this - it's been a while since I saw
it). The tug is clearly a good ol' Pawnee.
Anyone know anything about this shot and therefore able to fill in the
remaining details please ??
Regards,
Terry
