All of the above mentioned Aussie releases will be really good... for some reason I can't wait for a V Australia B773ER!

Jetstar A330's would be nice, as well as all the QF new liveried birds that haven't yet been done... and, and, and!

Basically yes to anything Aussie irregardless of the period.
Retro or modern I will buy them.

steve kicic

New word of the week "irregardless" love it!!
Seriously though, I share the same thoughts with TIM, and that is irrespective of new or old releases, I am sure they will appear in my collection.
As a side note of interest a FREEDOM AIR "air nz" A320 for sale on ebay. the real thing, according to a Flight Attd I spoke to on Sunday reckons its in the big shed, being repainted back to ANZ livery, so for those who are interested, the cartoon livery is just a memory now. Item # 130143461629. It's a great model and somewhat scarce now and now Freedom AIR is gone, might be a wise investment.

Got my Freedom Air A320 recently as I had seen it once or twice around Sydney. A bit of a shame it won't be around anymore though

Now, now, Steve, you be nice.

ir·re·gard·less [ir-i-gahrd-lis]–adverb Nonstandard.

regardless.

---

[Origin: 1910–15; ir-² (prob. after irrespective) + regardless]

—Usage note Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.

Steve,
Irrespective of the response from Ray, you use the word with reckless abandon irregardless!

steve kicic

Very interesting RAY, have heard this term used before and thought I would have a little bit of fun with it.

steve kicic

Groover158

QFA388

Very good indeed.

Will try giving you a call tomorra.
On saturday morning I am heading to ADL aerodrome for some pics and some beautiful kerosene filled fresh air but will swing past ModelWorld as I have some models I want to trade.

PS-sent aal an email advising their webcam has been busted up for over a week.
Oh golly whoops! and they still haven't fixed it.
Brett, where are ya???

steve kicic

The economy menu at the moment is Chicken curry with a rice with some veg, choice 2 is shepards pie with carrot and peas, 3rd is veg lasagne.
see what I can arrange on the day as the menu changes every 3 months!
Sure to please your gastranomical delights, irrelevant of the menu cycle at the time of your visit. All is strictly Halal IE no pork allowed in the building so no bacon pies unfortunately. the food is great, yet to try chicken curry but it smells great!!
steve kicic

QFA388

All sounds yummy and nice!
but why no vegemite soup.
What is wrong with this world????

steve kicic

They prefer SATAY to vegemite??
I don't mind either, irregardless of what anyone else thinks.
forgot to mention the "up fronters" get a choice of 4 meals and did you know that Malaysian economy pax get their hot meals served in a china dish, not a foil dish which other airlines typically use in economy!!
steve kicic

QFA388

QF just throw it at ya.

Groover158

Hey Timmy, tomorrow I'm heading to East Sale then Melbourne and back home in the B200 and i'll be sitting up front, so it looks as though I will be incommunicado (notwithstanding my work mobile). I will definitely be in for a spot of Saturday morning spotting as I am dropping a mate off at the Airport at around 0830h. Oh btw, I'm meeting with Bob on Thursday morning, perhaps the three of us could get together for some morning tea on base. He's bringing the QF-Link 717(s) for me. While I'm in the photo posting mood, here's a pic of the work B200 I took in Canberra last week.

QFA388

Aaaaaw man,
my diary is fuller than a chook on thursday.
Enjoy but another raincheck for me. Muchoes apolojoes!
Things will settle for me if I can get my new staff from the UK hopefully just after May12.

Saturday is a goer tho and I will try to get to the usual spot by 9'ish.

I love the logo on the tail and I still have my flying jacket patch and Squadron badge from when I served at ARDU all those many years ago.
"Prove to Accomplish" just brilliant!
