Preservation of our native wildlife is of utmost importance now more than ever before.
Please become familiar with your local wildlife rescuers phone numbers. Help our little critters, and if you can, shoot, trap and eliminate ferals.

What is the best way to check the jerry can level before pulling off the forecourt?
Use a lighter to see inside it.

The Skyhawks were dropping 500lb bombs (IIRC) and we were able to watch from an elevated position a km or so (my estimate) away from the target. After that we moved to the gunnery range where we stood on the gunnery range control tower, only a couple of hundred meters perpendicular to the centre line of fire. Watching the Skyhawks, at the same height as you, firing their cannons was an experience I will never forget.

It was shortly after that the Skyhawks were retired from service, and I believe that was the last time the range was used for aircraft bombing and gunnery exercises.

Not something most people would get to experience in their lives!
