Avalon Airshow Melbourne Australia 2005
Glorious weather greeted 19 and 20 March,
the public days for Airshow Downunder at Avalon.
Like Knights of old Air Nostalgia's classic 'DC3 Knight of the Sky' flew
enthusiasts right into the heart of the airshow.
With our modern King Arthur and Sir Lancelot - aka John Dorward and Alan Searle
- at the controls we were soon parked 'Ring Side'!

| On hand were our crew of volunteer workers. Ex engineers and Veterens with many years experience on DC3's. There to answer all questions. | And did they draw the crowds! We keep the flow up and all enjoyed FREE viewing of our aircraft. | |

Oh and the tailplane as well! Gosh and the underbelly! |
