Early March we tagged along on an AULRO trip to the Australian Aviation Heritage Center Caboolture thanks to the organiser Dave Blears (Incisor) and while at the airfield we also visited Kevin Hicks (Uncle Ho) haunt the Caboolture Warplane Museum (http://www.caboolturewarplanemuseum.com/).

I'll add some more info on the Heritage centre later on as was some very interesting stuff there... being restored and the main guy at the place is the first to test flight anything they've restored :o Unfortunately we missed out on a few of the WW1 restorations as they'd flown down to Avalon for the show that was on recently.

Here are a handful of pics i snapped quickly on my phone... will track down some of Toms great shots later on.

Cheers to those who attended.

Awesome DC3 they managed to fire up while we were there.

I won't complain about the wiring and fuses in my FFR again after seeing the DC3 fuse panel!

Nice simple pulley system to have this one flex.
