Where once the Viscounts came to train... Originally an RAAF base, Mangalore was developed after the Second World War as a diversion aerodrome for when Melbourne/Essendon was fogged in, its location north of the Great Dividing Range giving it good weather when the weather in Melbourne was bad. The field is still much as it was then. The nearest runway is 05/23, the photo looking east toward the township of Avenel.

This is the only WT-9 Dynamic on the Australian register, though there is also thought to be an RAAus-registered example in WA. This one was first registered on 28 June 2006. Aerospool is based in the Slovak Republic and has previously glider parts-manufacturing and repair - hence the all-glass structure of the Dynamic.

This appropriately-registered Duo Discus is operated by the Gliding Club of Victoria at the State Gliding Centre, Benalla. It's capable of a glide ratio of 1:45. No, it's not a taildragger - it still has its dolly-wheel for ground manoeuvring attached!

This Skylane isn't going far powered by a 44 gallon drum! It's an ex jump-ship, as seen by the titles and the home-made step on the starboard wheel. It is currently de-registered but was last registered to an owner in Mackay, Qld. Before coming to Australia in 1969, it was N71849 in the USA.
