@BOM_Vic Could you please provide a link to this exact page? Or not for the general public? I've tried to find it on the BoM site but no luck.

Louise Sacchi was a modern day ferry pilot, delivering mostly single engine aircraft from the US to Europe out of Gander. Before her retirement in 1980, she had made 340 solo crossings of the North Atlantic. A record unsurpassed by anyone.

#OTD in 1942, U.S. Navy blimp L-8 returned from patrol without anyone aboard. The crew had vanished. The "ghost blimp" was found to be in total working order and none of the parachutes or life rafts had been taken. The fate of the crew remains a mystery.

@PPathole @elonmusk Does anyone know the approx weight of the booster when it lands? This seems to be a bit of a mystery.

@N4JAW If it is a Cootie you could just short the two contacts together and use one wire from that end, if it is a single lever paddle it is great as is.. Just sayin..

@JS1WWR Thanks for your pics. Your Dual lever paddle seems to have the single lever spring? I have a BY-1. Will listen for your callsign.

[Mark In Geelong @Mark_In_Geelong]

@JS1WWR Your key or paddle is very quiet, what are you using?

Thought this was artwork originally but evidently it is a real photo of the Roulettes - the RAAF display team - in their Aermaccho MB-326Hs circa 1988.
