rraway and Tiger Moth will also be started up\, along with a \;
range of unique engines supplied by the Nhill Vintage Machinery Club. En

AY AT THE NHILL AVIATION HERITAGE CENTRE
After 11 y
ears of restoration work on the Avro Anson the two engines are now ready f
or action.
They will both be fired up at the ‘Start-Up Day’
on Saturday April 10 th out at the aerodrome. This
will be a
major milestone for the Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre.
Rob Lynch\, president of the NAHC said: “This will be a mem
orable day. When some of us saw the \;Avro Anson pieces behin
d Graham Drage’s shed at Lah back in 2009 we thought they looked like
\;useless junk. Mike Kingwill\, Wimpey Reichelt and Len Creek hav
e done an amazing job to get theplane to this stage.”
Engines of all shapes and sizes are being greased and oiled i
n preparation for the day. Two other \;aircraft on display at
the NAHC\, the Wirraway and Tiger Moth will also be started up\, along wi
th a \;range of unique engines supplied by the Nhill Vintage
Machinery Club. Engines that need \;blowtorches\, crank handl
es and cartridges to start them are sure to impress onlookers. The line-up
\;includes a ‘Southern Cross’ mobile generator similar to th
e one used for floodlighting at the \;aerodrome during WW2\,
and other vintage tractors\, trucks\, a weapons carrier and model aircraft
.
Beginning at 10.00am with the Tiger Moth \, the W
irraway will follow at 10.30am. Vintage Club
engines will be
featured for the next hour before the Avro Anson is fired up at 12 noon.<
