Thought I would put some pic's of some of the more interesting
prop and piston powered aeroplanes to visit my corner of the
world. Lord Howe Island is located around 700klms N/E of
Sydney these pic's are around twenty years of plane spotting!

That's the airstrip down there around 3000ft or just short of a Klm.
