No, Kiwis call ’em chooks, too.

Thanks for the nice, and informative, article.

I’ve read about Harry Butler and was thrilled to find this post and read about your adventures and see his plane restored. Sweet! Thank you!

It’s always been my dream to visit Australia, but it’s so far and I’m afraid of flying. It would take at least two days to get there from here. This article is very interesting, maybe I should consider flying:) I found you through my friend alessandrazecchini and I’m following you from Trapani, Sicily.

I must have had an important life involving aviation around the time of the Red Devil because I gather stories from that period. Especially those first fighter planes. I can always see me sitting in the cockpit wearing my helmet and goggles and the typical scarf flying in the wind. Only I was a man that life. This is a spiffy looking red one.
I know I read this post before and thought I commented. Sometimes I write and leave and it doesn’t get printed. ugh My life is always in a rush. Thanks for following my A-Z even though I know dance isn’t your cup of tea. 🙂
Love and peace

@bettyl – It’s used all the time in OZ, just didn’t know where it originated!!
@diane b – Neither had I! That’s what’s so great about OZ exploration!!
@Sailor – well, keep on coming back for more!!
@Betty – Sunday night now!! And learning new things? I vowed to learn all about OZ before seriously exploring other countries – looks like I’ll still be here for a while yet …
@Mary – It’d be a shame for characters like Harry to fall into oblivion … so doing the best I can to make sure it doesn’t happen!!
@Divine in Mind – welcome!! And come back anytime with comments like that!!!
@Alessandra – yep, they don’t make ’em like that any more, more’s the pity!!
