• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Pigs in a hole

What an absolute waste.

There must be dozens of Aviation Museums who would have made space for one of these.

It defies all reason.

On a better note, our Museum over here ( Classic Flyers NZ ) has just secured an ex RNZAF Skyhawk, with the possiblity of an Aermacchi MB326 and maybe a Strikemaster.

Heck, I would have gladly parked one of those babies in my front yard as a "gate guard". Of course I would spend the bulk of my time sitting in it making airplane sounds and listening to 80s rock music....but that's no different than me driving down the road in my mini-van making V-8 muscle car sounds and listening to 80s rock music.

Yeah...I could hardly believe it myself when I saw this item on the 6pm news. Defence persons have been doing this sort of thing for ages...and look at what WW2 relics are worth now !!!
 
Ehhhhh.... I think since they were in Australian hands, my opinion doesn't matter. But if it did...

Even if enough of those airplanes were saved to satisfy the historians, at the very least the airframes could've been recycled as scrap metal.
 
The so-called 'Government' refused funding for two of the 'Pigs' to be retained in flying condition at RAAF Amberley.
It was an RAAF proposal that they keep one as an operational display aircraft with the second as a spare if needed, but as usual, the Government Dickheads vetoed the plan.
Bloody ignorant Leftie Muppets!!!!!!
