Good to see this. Pity the chopper noise-bombed the take-off. I'll be down there Friday week, to visit the grandkids. Of course we have the real one under glass at YBBN :thumbup:

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

I had a very enjoyable flight in the replica when it was in NZ I managed to get the job of videoing the flight from onboard.
One of the things I will never forget is the sound of those three radials from inside the plane especially when wound up on take off bloody awesome sound.
I will have to have a look through all my video tapes and find it put it on Utube
