RAAF Centenary of Military Aviation Airshow 2014

[Whiteknuckles]

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!

Hoping to get down there if I can
