Interesting in the Winter 09 wavelength is a picture of a Kestrel at AUGC Lochiel with ridge in background http://www.canberragliding.org/wavelength/Autumn_09.pdf (see page 6, bottom left) Discussion here http://www.canberragliding.org/wavelength/Winter_09.pdf http://www.canberragliding.org/wavelength/Spring_09.pdf Gary Holland wrote: >"On the Kestrel's photo location, Black Springs did not have a wind sock, as seen behind the port wing tip. Lochiel ( AUGC ) does/did have a wind sock in that location and featured a nice uniform hill to the East of the paddock but was less tree lined that Black springs."
Editors response: >So the verdict is that the location of the Kestrel remains unknown. Ed. My point: The location is definitely known! Gary Hollands (ex-AUGC) is correct. XX is at AUGC Lochiel at the start of the so-called 'Bute End' of RWY 15. The photograph is looking north-east, with the northern boundary fence windsock in plain sight. The beautiful contour of the Lochiel ridge can be appreciated. The towplane does look suspiciously like Tim Laidler's Cessna. Not sure of the year, possibly early 1991 for the ?Vintage Regatta ?60th Anniversary of Gliding in South Oz at AUGC Regards Michael Texler _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
