Happy Birthday!
This coming saturday, 5th December, marks the 100 th Anniversary of Human
Flight in Australia.
At the sand dunes around Narrabeen, George Taylor flew his glider. The glider
flew approx 30 flights that day in 1909, the longest being 100 yards. It was
also flown by his wife.
well done Patch

Thankyou,

first is terribly

Thanks
Ian Patching.

really doesn't concern me, but I suppose I took that risk when I put the
posting onto the Aus soaring that there would be people who would want
