As another day hots up out here (heading for 40 degrees!) at Temora Thursday morning arrivals and practice saw regular comings and going including the arrival of the Graham Hosking’s Corsair from Tyabb and Jeff Trappett’s CAC Sabre.

Matt Hall was cutting some laps in the CAC Mustang ‘Snifter’ giving some lucky punter a back seat view from the two seater.

On arrival the Corsair announced to the local traffic over the radio that he would be performing low level aerobatics. In the interests of good practice he then proceeded to do just that.
