Water Collection and Water Tank Storage

An audit on roof collection area for water tank storage has determined these figures: Western hangar roof area = 72m x 10.5m = 756 sq m; House tank roof area = 33m x 18m = 594 sq m; Combined roof area for house water = 1,350 sq m; Main hangar roof area = 40m x 23m = 920 sq m; Total roof area listed = 2,270 sq m. This provides us with 2,270 litres per mm of rain recorded, or approximately 1.816 megalitres of tank water each year. A rain gauge was installed near the house on February 24, 2007. Contents are recorded and discarded each Saturday at lunchtime. BOM figures show an average annual rainfall of 800mm.

Volunteers get the airfield ready for Saturday

Each Wednesday volunteers work with whipper snippers and lawn mowers to get the airfield up-to-scratch for Saturday - our weekly "get together" day. The first Saturday of each month is another special day at Luskintyre because the increasingly popular "Lunch with the Tiger Moths" is held. It's a casual affair with hotdogs and a sausage sizzle for lunch. Picnic facilities are available if you wish to bring your own lunch.
