It's no secret that the Australian economy has been in the doldrums for the last few years. Retail spending and business investment is flat and the country in general has gone into "conservative mode". And yet many smart investors know that this is the exact financial climate required to make great long term investments. It's often a buyer's market with plenty of investment opportunities on offer at various price points. Sellers are more prepared to negotiate on price, terms and conditions.
Such is the current situation at Watts Bridge Memorial Airfield. Over the last year or so the number of listings in the Site Sales section of the website has increased significantly. A variety of Commercial, Private Hangar and Chalet Sites are on offer from private vendors, as well as new site releases from airfield management. So if you're even remotely interested in making an investment in your aviation future/dream/indulgence at Watts Bridge, there is probably not going to be a better time than the present.

Mal McKenzie has been flying from Watts Bridge for ages - and in a wide variety of aircraft. First was an early model Thruster, then a B1-RD, then a Tyro, then a Hi-Max, and more recently an X-Air. Spot the trend??
Each type goes a little higher and a little faster and then the X-Air has room for a passenger as well.
Haven't seen much of Mal up at Watts lately.....
And now we know why.
Mal's been busy hatching!
For the last 6 months a beaut new Sky Ranger has been going together bit by laborious bit. But now the project has outgrown the large shed in which it was being assembled, necessitating the move to the airfield for final fit out. Here we caught Mal hard at it doing the bit every constructor looks forward to - hanging the engine and plumbing all the hoses and cables and things. The Sky Ranger sports a Rotax 912 which should provide an exhilarating climb rate and a very respectable 90 knot cruise.
Can't wait to see this flying machine take to the air - but then neither can Mal!
Watch this space for the first flight announcement.
