MGF & Modern MG`s Run
Saturday July 6th
ell another successful day. Al-
though the weather was a little
cool the sun was shinning which made
up for it .Meeting at the Tea Tree Gully
Hotel at approx. 9.30 most people en-
joyed some coffee before the run. We
had 18 persons come on the run with 12
cars (90 % register vehicles )which was
very pleasing to see .Dick manning had
organised the run for about 1 hr through
the northern hills ending up at the
Greenock Aviation Museum .
The owner Lincoln Nitschke met us on
arrival and had lunch all prepared , after
lunch Lincoln explained the origins of the
museum and explained some of the de-
tails of exhibits and their origin a very
interesting talk .
We spent about an hour in the museum
and then afterwards Lincoln ran a couple
of engines for us , one being a diesel
from a 50`s Commer Prime mover and
the other a Merlin .This Merlin was a
27litre detuned version of what aircraft
28
used ( 2000hp reduced to 650hp ) and
was installed as a tank engine .So an-
other enjoyable run and after thanking
Lincoln we all headed home early after-
noon
