Come Fly With Them

Good Old Tony - he came though like a champion. On my recent interview with he and Denis Glennon, they painted a vivid word picture of their search for vivid aerial pictures, and he promised to send some photos of the actual venture. They arrived in the Dropbox, complete with captions, and I can do no better service to the flyers than share them directly. Tony and Denis. Instrument panel and smart phone. Steve manoeuvering the plane in. Denis heading for the plane, early morning, in not so inviting weather. Tony and Roger discuss the day's trackroute and possible locations of interest between Port Hedland and Karratha in WA. And that's a good start on the visuals of the flight - but today is the big day for the opening at Central Park building in St Geo Tce and there's nothing to stop the readers of this column from going there between 10:00 and 5:30 and seeing what it all produced. I'll show you more of the images that Tony send through tomorrow to give you an idea what it was like around cockpit around the coast. Oh, before this finishes - the heading image is the cliffs of the Great Australian Bight. All the images in the Girt By Sea Exhibition are by Denis Glennon, and Tony Hewitt.
