Greetings all,
The 1st of March 2014 will see the 100th anniversary of Australia's 1st military aviation flight by Lieutenant Eric Harrison in a Bristol Boxkite at Point Cook (near Melbourne in Victoria).
To celebrate, an Airshow has been announced for the 1-2 March 2014 which will feature the official unveiling of a newly built, flying replica Bristol Boxkite!
Picture of the Boxkite here http://australianaviation.com.au/2013/12/raaf-airshow-announced-to-commemorate-the-centenary-of-military-aviation/ (http://australianaviation.com.au/2013/12/raaf-airshow-announced-to-commemorate-the-centenary-of-military-aviation/) (click for larger version).

Hoping to get down there if I can :D
