Nice pics Motty! I was at Williamtown AB in 2000 and had 2 nice days over there with a lot of Hornets and MB326's (now replaced by Hawks). Very active airbase but indeed the aviationscene in Europe has more diversity in aircrafttypes and counties. But for us your pics are very exotic so keep them coming.

Kind Regards,
Marcel Mutsaers

Including Williamstown.

Many thanks Ludo.

Might I suggest though that you may not get to see much Millitary activity if you travel at that time?

Your best options to see much activity at Williamtown, if you have to travel then, would be the last two weeks in January if you can.

Cheers,
Motty.

Many thanks Marcel,

I used to work on the MB-326s when I was in the RAAF.

One question, are my photos still visible to you guys or do they dissapear after a day?

When I come back to the message each day, I can't see my photos anymore.

Cheers,
Motty.

I will be in the Williamtown area at the end of this year (30th December).

My main interest is military aviation museums. And if the occasion occurs some spotting.

But thank You for the info. Maybe next time around

Greetings

G'day Vincent,

Do you know if it was your friend who was at Williamtown on Friday?

Was his camera gear stolen in Tasmania a while ago?

Cheers,
Motty.

Hey Darren,

Good to see you here too ! Feel welcome, my friend !

So far I haven't seen your recent Aardvark shots with "burning ass" here. If you'll show them, I'm sure you will get some people to faint.

Anyway, hope to see you around here more often.

Cheers,
Iwan

Great shots, Darren! Keep them posted!

Specially the F-111, we haven't seen them here in Holland for a while...
but they were very common during the early eighties.

The last pic of the formation landing of the two Hawks: wow!

The guy that you saw with the scramble-cap was mine brother PeterM, he is here also a member of scramble but is not so bussy anymore with posting, His camera gear was stolen is tasmania but he has it back now.

heey guys

I am in sydney now and the wheater is bad thats why i got time to do some photo work. Amberley is a great airbase but not for the spotters. Only road where you can make photo's is old toowooba road and there is a dirttrack, about 200 mtrs before the base that leads to the taxitrack. from that spot you can see the airplanes take off on the other site of the base.

Broome WA

Darwin NT

Qantas Founders Outback Museum, Longreach QLD

Flying Army Museum, Oakley QLD

Toowoomba QLD

Amberley QLD

Archerfield QLD

Williamstown NSW

G'day and many thanks Iwan. Happy to be here (well actually I'd rather be at an airshow / spotters day in Europe but anyway......

).

Well, if you really they will like those other Pig shots, I guess I can show them again (later

).

Cheeers,
Motty.

G'day again Peter,

Wow! That was a huge trip you made and a lot of aeroplanes to see.

Glad you finally managed to see some Hornets at Williamtown on Friday.

Thanks for letting me know of the photo forum here too.

Cheers,
Motty.
