Hey Allan,

nice story - makes me wish I were there too, scouting out Rovers from the 
air.

You say this 80" has an operational 'chaff cutter'? Is this a lawn mower of 
sorts? That would be a fabulous attachment for any Land Rover. Are these 
easy to come by in Australia?

   G'Day Diana,
    I did see the add after Ian Patrick told me about it. I rang the 
auctioneer on Thursday, he happened to be at the property at the time and 
after I told him where to find the vehicle number, he was able to quote it. 
Turned out to be 0611****. It has a grey Holden motor installed. May be good 
for parts etc., I am not going over to Dalton. It is only about 1 1/2 hour 
drive for me if I were to go (around 130 Km.). The operational chaff cutter 
would make a nice PTO accessory though.
    On Friday as luck would have it, I was doing a nav., Camden - Mittagong 
- Goulburn - Yass - Crookwell - Camden. The weather was a bit how ya goin 
until just past Mittagong on the way out and from Buragorang valley on the 
way back in. The leg from Yass to Crookwell was conducted at low level and 
the track took us about 2 miles north of Dalton (the earth tremor capital of 
Australia). Low and behold, we passed right over the property where the 
clearing sale was being laid out. Could not quite make out the Land Rover. 
Did not do any orbits as I don't think the instructor shares my enthusiasm 
for old Land Rovers and machinery.
    Did a touch and go landing at the Crookwell ALA, looked like my back 
lawn in that it had not been mowed for about the same length of time. I 
guess we fixed that though (or at least a narrow strip of it).
    Cheers
    Allan
