1959 Australian Nationals where it all began. Ford Lloyd and son with an OS Pet powered East Wind.

20 years later on the battle field of Taft (USA) for the '79 World champs. Dave Tongway gave the thumbs up but it did not help.

At the 2001 Aust Nats with my 3rd copy of George Fuller's 1954 Zoot Suit design powered with a K&B15 Green head glow. A great combination.

The Dixielander replacement has now flown. VIT and A/R made a difference.
