Following an absence of just over one year, based at Riddell’s Creek airstrip 13nm NNW of Melbourne’s Tullamarine airport, VH SCW returns to Ballarat.
This time sporting a new engine cowl, built from scratch by metal craft guru Mike Subritzky, Allied Fighter Rebuilds Ltd, New Gisborne. The snug fitting cowl has improved engine cooling significantly and improved airspeed. She purrs along beautifully and is seen here flying over my granddaughter’s home whilst approaching the circuit at BLT.
During the past year Mike has painstakingly built a brand new engine cowl to factory specs and dimensions. What an amazing job he has done.

Hi Terry, wonderful to hear from you! Thanks for your comments – yes she is looking pretty good.
Trust that you’re well and staying safe. Say G’day to the guys at Lee on Solent.
Unfortunately our dear friend Capt Biff Windsock passed away earlier this month.
This is from his daughter.
“I’m so sorry to share the heart wrenching news of Dad’s passing at 3:54 this morning with Jill, Tim and I at his side. The dialysis was too hard on him and his blood pressure got too low so they had to stop. The amazing nurses made him comfortable so he was at peace. This is so surreal. “
