On Saturday the 1st of October 05, at Narrromine Airfield in New South Wales Australia a full size replica of the Model A Wright Flyer will make it's first public flight. This replica is fully approved by CASA in the experimental catagory and it is powered by a auto Hillman Imp engine. It will be flown by warbird pilot Col Pay.

Hey Ozzie,

Is there a website for this event or plane?

[ozzie]

i don't think there is i found out about the flight when i received an invitation to attend from the RA/AUS. i'll do a little seaching when i get back on Monday. there has been a fair bit of secrecy on it lately as the invite says the fist PUBLIC flight so i assume that the test flights are being conducted under wraps. their has been nothing else mentioned on it.
