Update page from 2005 - now 2011

The Knox Model Aircraft Club's flying ground is an all-grass area large enough to comprise five circles, three of which have a concrete centre pad. It is used for all major Melbourne competitions, including State Championship Aerobatics.

On Friday 4th February 2011, Melbourne suffered torrential rain, resulting in flooded areas in many suburbs.

This is the view from the edge of Stud Road on Saturday morning.

Somewhere under this water is the primary Stunt circle.

Almost the entire field.

From the edge of Stud Road.

The pedestrian underpass for the bike path on the North side of the field, on the other side of the creek.

Knee deep might not sound much, but over the area, it is a LOT of water.

Sunday morning - the water drains away fast - THEN there's the rubbish left behind -

4 Car tyres
Dozens of tennis balls
Plastic Bottles
A Writing desk
2 chairs
Part of a toilet seat
Kids toys

and LOTS OF tree trunks..
