The end is nigh
RAAF is in the process of retiring these old ladies.
Hopefully this tail finds a home at a nice local museum

very nice - I suppose they'd be more reliable than our B757's, wonder if we could afford them though...


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

I was thinking if you were retiring the Orions's we could probably use them.
we currently have 2x 757's as "transport" i.e. free flights for junket-taking-polititians.

trouble is, due to a number of issues (funding being one of them) these a/c keep being unserviceable, sometimes at very inconvenient times.
http://www.nzherald.co​.nz …?c_id=1&objecti​d=11734795 (external link) lists the latest embarrassment.
I was thinking that the Aussies might have helped John out, but then there was a certain test match last week....
