the airport apron. |
 |
 |
| Lord Howe
Island airport terminal. |
Looming mountains
behind the airport. |
 |
 |
| Qantas Dash
8 coming in to land at Lord Howe Island. |
Steep approach
to runway in howling winds. |
 |
 |
| Dash 8 on
landing run, note windsock off right wing! |
Almost the
the end of the landing run - good landing! |
 |
 |
| Dash 8 turning
to return to terminal - friendly wave from cockpit to us on the sea wall. |
Stewart in
the back of a Police wagon - transport to town! |
 |
 |
| Stewart and
Wendy walking from the Pines to the Lord Howe Museum in the gusty windy
and intermittent rain squalls. |
Lord Howe

 |
 |
| View of rocks
at the edge of Lord Hose on our departure from the island in dreadful windy
weather. |
Bruce Raymond,
Terry Wesley-Smith, Ruedi's head and interior of PC-12. You can see Stewart
(left) and Seb's (right) shoulders up front in the cockpit. |
 |
 |
| Stewart
hand flew us from Lord Howe to Canberra, including the landing. Interesting
watching him and Seb swap seats. |
Out of sequence
due to vertical format - Sebastian concentrating on approach to Norfolk
Island the day before. |
 |
 |
| End of our
journey, Canberra airport late afternoon. Stewart, Bruce, Terry, Sebastian
and Ruedi. |
Different
shot, Stewart, Bruce, Terry, Wendy and Ruedi - and our trusty Pilatus PC-12. |
