The Finished Whitley!

The craftsmanship is not mine, but at least I have some talented friends!
Even the finshed photos are not mine.

And "before" -

Restored Whitley coming along

The restoration of our syndicate's Armstrong Siddeley Whitley is close to being finished. I think the plan is to have it ready for the Albany Show, on November 8th and 9th.

New Albany Surf Club

Not as funny as First Dog on the Moon, but at least mildly amusing.
Apparently, the windows represent waves crashing on the beach.

First dog on the moon - hilarious (to me)

Maybe not everyone will agree, but one of my current favourites -

Who might you bump into at the Albany Club?

Everybody has their story to tell, and our Albany Club is a good place to hear them.
Last week, I met Dr Peter Ratnik - a professional music composer!
Pictured below on the trumpet, he specialises in music for brass.

Spider Lady

An inspirational story.
I attended a workshop with Dr Barbara at Bremer Bay some years ago.

Tom Price holiday

It is always good to have a break, but especially nice to find some warmer weather in the middle of winter, such as Tom Price, in the middle of the Pilbara.

The general landscape is spectacular -

This is why they can mine the iron ore (though even the town of Tom Price seems to be conscious of tougher times ahead) -

And the geology is awe-inspiring. (How does this happen?)

.... resulting in spectacles such as Hamersley Gorge in Karijini -
