Here are the latest pics from a day in the life of an aircraft refueller at archerfield




















got to love pressure refuelling!!!

as you can see, there is always something different
it is a tough job but some one has to do it , i have heard there is a sea fury on airport, now all i have to do is get to see it

enjoy

yeah he could have landed on the grass runway the other day, there was plenty of water on it!!!!!! it is only one of three in Aust. There are two Canberras out on the Cunningham highway, rotting away, such a shame

now i haven't forgotten about the promised interior shot of the DC-4, i am just waiting for the right moment, i.e. next time it is opened up!!!

some news on the DC-4, HARS, the same guys who has restored the constellation, are going to fly the dc-4 out and restore her to full flying status, sad to see the old girl go, but it is where it is going i am pleased about, no scrap heap for her, i was talking to a couple of HARS guys when they looked her over, they all said they will definitely get her flying again, and don't worry i wil be getting lots of pics of her leaving when she does

Jas .... a HARS DC4 .. SUPERB .. ! QANTAS operated the 4 , they did amazing work on the Connie , Great News
