Report 11 June
By Trudy
We wake up and still smell the burning air. We pack and then the sunburn-smear moment has arrived. Dirk calls the most beautiful moment of the day.
We drive along the railway towards Darwin.
A lamp does not light up during the lighting check. During the coffee stop Dirk replaces the two lights of the rear lights.
We are almost with Paul, because he lives in Marlow Lagoon
Benno and Thecla came to Paul and Maja yesterday and we are very happy that they arrived as a new crew.
After a delicious lunch we go to the Hangar. Tom wants to be at my place in the T-Ford and I can ride with Paul in his Chevrolet. Benno and Thecla are in the back.
We arrive at the hangar of the club.
And yes!!! The Model T-Ford is allowed on the hoists
We say goodbye to David, who goes to his wife by taxi and Rick looks for a motel and then returns.
Dirk and Benno are going to work together.
Dirk gets a plaque from Paul.
Dirk will refresh the oil.
What an action, but then we go to the ocean for the barbecue during the setting sun. A beautiful place where you can also see the skyline of Darwin.
It is a pleasant evening with a delicious barbecue during the setting sun.
