My house is my hangar.My bed is under my aerie.In fact everything i do goes on under my aerie-how cool is that.(winter time , cool is an under statement)But the aim is all about flying. Just slide open the hangar door , push the Bantam Babe out a meter or two, line up on the Magalieburg mountains and away you go. It all stems from my kiddie days, being brought up at the old Barragwanath airfield. Dad , Mom and I lived in a rondavel next to the runway, i can remember peering thru the fence watching all the planes landing and taking off, and in the evenings drifting off under a huge Gypsy Major propeller hanging on the wall...And thats how it all started for me.

For the ultimate fantacy hangar, check out the South Western hangar at Tedderfield, unless we were just plastered. :)

Hey Suzy, now thats what I call living! a far far cry from your days down here at the Wild Coast,all those years back.
Yep I'm the sole survivor from those days, needless to say if you ever find yourself in this part of the world then pull in, be super cool to catch up.
