fingerprint file: more models




moustache compulsory







An RNZAF Ct4E went down on Friday. engine trouble. these ct4's very sprightly with 300hp lycoming engines.
the rest of the piccys are models that the RNZAF has operated either for the themselves or the RAF in wartime or in peacetime activities.
Aviation has always been important in New Zealand because of the terrain and the speed and ease of air transport. Kiwis cant fly but the natives can! yes indeedy.
 More music from the late 50's early 60's. Most of it is easily transcribed by ear and really great to play if one can ramp the desired excitement quotient.
The twelve bar blues form is really a very simple musical idiom but it has lent itself to innumerable twists and turns and provided a musical education for countless kids who just wanted to play a song on a guitar.
Its still accessible today of course but now nobody wants to know unless it has been pro tooled and squeezed out of a tube.
conway twitty was more or less the elvis in reserve and he ended up owning the largest record store in Nashville USA. But man he could sing. Its only make believe and mona lisa are little masterpeices.
look for them and have some aural fun!
gotta go. this pc is public and its about to close.
