24.01.2022 HARRY FREUDENSTEIN- FIRST SOLO! Today, in very rough and challenging conditions, 15 year old Harry did his FIRST SOLO flight! Congratulations to this very humble, quiet achiever. Harry has been flying at solo standard for quite some time but we just couldn’t seem to score acceptable weather. Today was the day!! Well done.

20.01.2022 Steve Smith sent us this photo some time ago. Thought it was "The Prime Minister who the Indian tribes bestowed the Title of Chief Notafukenclew took an aerial tour of the proposed pipeline route through Indian lands in BC earlier. When he returned he said that all went reasonably well."

18.01.2022 First Solo flights are the most exciting and most memorable. Congratulations to a very confident young 15-year-old Bodhi Hinchcliff on his first solo flight on 4 November 2020.

03.01.2022 It's been 100 years since the first aircraft landed in Port Macquarie The historical first landing of an aircraft at Port Macquarie, on Oxley Reserve, then the Golf Course originally occurred on Saturday, 5 Feb 1921. We believe it was WWI flying ace Lt Frank Roberts who flew the Avro 504K biplane. Lieutenant Roberts was from the Australian Flying Corps, which eight weeks later would become the Royal Australian Air Force. The plane had arrived from Britain the previous May as ...one of the first five of 100 surplus World War I aircraft given to Australia as part of the so-called Imperial Gift of 1919. The British Government had an ulterior motive for the Imperial Gift. It had far too many planes and, by giving them to member nations of the Commonwealth, the defence chiefs were saved the embarrassment of having to destroy them. In an interesting sidelight, 21 months after the aircraft landed in Port Macquarie, another Avro 504K was to become the first plane operated by Qantas to carry a paying passenger. The people of Port Macquarie were ready to dig deep into their pockets. Lieutenant Roberts offered the residents an opportunity to take a short joy ride. It wasn’t a cheap exercise for the locals, who had to pay 2 10s - for the privilege of a few brief minutes skimming low over the town, Hastings River and the ocean. The first passengers that took the flight were; G.G. Webb, A. A. Cumming, J. Wholohan, J. Steele, J. S. Murphy, J. Hayward, L. Delaforce, H. Bird, Miss A. Waldron, and Mrs. J. S. Murphy with her niece. But a large number quickly parted with their ‘fifty bob’ and, as the Port Macquarie News, noted: ‘It was evidently a fascinating experience, and all who ventured were delighted with having a chance to fly before reaching the angelic state of existence.’ Source: PMQ Golf Club and Port News Published on HDFC Propwash January 2021 https://bit.ly/3oUpf6u #brilliantnews #firstaircraftlandingportmacquarie #avrobiplane
