@PeteDotAscian @arcadiagt5 Nah, that’s just someone put wings on a shipping container as a joke.
RT @arcadiagt5 @stilgherrian That’s debatable. I think there’s a case to be made for the Walrus. http://t.co/nmx7C2yZMt [True, that IS ugly]

I’m just throwing a few images onto Instagram.com, but I composed most of them in 16:9. So they’ll come later.
@purserj @SnarkyPlatypus You can start at age 8, apparently.
@scottcarson1957 I’ve seen them perform. Impressive.
@michaelneale Oh yes, brilliant. It’s the biggest collection of aircraft in Australia, apparently.

@xntrik Something like that, yes. And I’ve seen them do it.
@SnarkyPlatypus It’s also very “local communityâ€. Kids selling sausage sandwiches for $2.50, your choice of sauce.
@SnarkyPlatypus It’s an good collection, and the aircraft are well-maintained. Some fly, of course, so they have to be.
Well, the F-111C belongs to the RAAF and is “on loan” because nuclear-capable and “rules”.
For those asking, all these aircraft belong to HARS at Illawarra Regional Airport, Albion Park. hars.org.au

@Nicholosophy The 747 is of little interest, but I am going to HARS, yes.
Just to be clear, though, @JohnBirmingham, this is very fucking wrong. pic.twitter.com/8U7Ivn6F2V
@JohnBirmingham I will continue to enjoy your dangerous sex on my journey south.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother posting a detailed daily plan each day when no-one’s internets seem to have a scroll function.

@JohnBirmingham Well, I wasn’t going to say… but yes..
@LogocracyCopy @JohnBirmingham May I recommend my immediately preceding tweet?

@sylmobile Also, Daryl Braithwaite on 16 May.
@sylmobile Indeed. It has EVERYTHING you could possibly need. So I am heading there for lunch before going to HARS. hars.org.au
@sylmobile Correction. Another EVEN CLASSIER Oaks Hotel. theoakshotel.com.au
@BrigadierSlog Then all is well.
@BrigadierSlog Hardly. There’s the entire world to see. Or are you one of these tedious people who needs to be “entertained†constantly?
Sat plan, transport B: 1618 train to Sydney Central, arrive 1815; dinner; 1918 train to Wentworth Falls, arrive 2110. Taxis omitted.
@BrigadierSlog Lulwut? Sitting on a train is hardly an onerous task.
Sat plan, transport A: 0706 train to Sydney Central, arrive 0901; 0929 train to Albion Park, arrive 1125; The Oaks theoakshotel.com.au
@Bobosphere @lexiconvalley It’s true. I had to lie down for a little while, and catch my breath.
Sat plan, supplemental: Lunch is likely to be taken at The Oaks, Albion Park Rail, which looks sophisticated. theoakshotel.com.au
Sat plan, draft; 0706 train to Sydney, then to Albion Park; lunch; HARS hars.org.au; return trains and dinner ad libitum.
Saturday. Your have made a grave error. Seven. Six. Eight. Three. Only one digit was wrong, but that is enough. It has been noted. Saturday.
