Ah Lincoln. I remember those at the Annual Parafield Airshow (b4 RAAF Edinburgh & post Mallala) Fond memories.

Haven't been to one for donkeys years. Not sure they even have them anymore.

Probably all Jets which Dougie Bader reckons you couldn't tell one aircraft from another anyway.

I reckon the boatie got tied up at the pub & forgot the tide was on the ebb. Did you see what I did there?

If he was tied up he might have been in a different establishment. Sailors will be sailors after all.

Found the photo. The text below the pic in my photo album says 1961 - I would have been 13. Now to look for the slide of the Lincoln.
