Ive noticed some people on here can identify the car from looking door handle, so im wondering who can knows what the aircraft are????

I did aviation back in high school for a few years, so i THINK i know what it is, i just wanna see if anyone else does

I don't know aircraft, but I'm guessing given the subject of the article, that they are P51 Mustangs. One is a cesna minus it's nose cone.

Definately not a P51 Mustang. They ran an American version of the V12 Merlin built under licence from Rolls Royce.


That Warbird has a radial engine, more likely a Corsair or Grumman.

Can someone please tell me what the $%^& aircraft's have to do with Braad's post about putting a mini on a 1 tonner?

when Henry Draper brings his mini to tassie for targa etc. he brings it on a WB 1 tonner. That is a complete car ready to run so it is possible.

Henry Draper must have an extrended tray - my one tonner's tray is 220 cm - thats exactly the distance between the wheel centres on the mini and doesn't take into consideration overhang like the front and rear of the mini as well as bumper bars.


The weight is not a real issue at 650 odd kilos as we regularly cart 1000 plus lites of water with no real issues. It is a 308 tonner.

No offence intended here but--> anyone writing a book about minis 30 years ago may not have experienced such worn or stuffed-with components as we are finding these days.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

i bought a mini shell from a guy in kerang. i live in melbourne and he brought it down for me on the back of his wb ute. as long as its tied down it should be fine. he travelled a long way and had no problems.

Thats pretty cool i have to say.

Why would you get it off? It looks so damm cool right up there!!

It probably tilts, by the look of those wheels, it's purpose built for mini trailering for I'd say there'd be a tilt mechanism in there or other wise, helicopter lift?
