Have been several times but last time was near on 20 years ago so I’d think plenty has changed

Is there something going down at Adelaide Airport?

There’s 3 aircraft doing loops around my area instead of lining up for runway 23.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

Yep, that one has just landed, whilst the other 2 are lining up for landing now.

All 3 did 3 loops before coming in. There was no other aircraft activity at Adelaide Airport whilst all this was happening.

One other thing … aircraft lining up for runway 23 are usually approx 4.5km due north from my place when they fly past, and I can see and hear every single one.

My brother-in-law lives at North Plympton, 300m from the airport boundary, and you wouldn’t know there is an airport there.

:shock:

I know its been discussed on here somewhere before, but notice the pumps/tanks are finally being removed from the old Skorpos servo on Marion Road, they would have been in there for 50 years, interested to see what they do with the site.

If someone has dirt to play with they build apartments on it.

I’m pretty sure Agostino purchased the land.
I heard that it will be another petrol station and burger outlet

Apparently there is still lots of fuel in the ground as he refused to move it in protest of the council
Not sure how that will work?

Is it Parkholme, Plympton or Ascot Park there?

I'll keep an eye out for any tenders coming through.

It’s Park Holme there but I often see it referred to as Ascot Park.

Not sure if it’s just myth or not but rumoured to be 50-70,000 litres still in the tanks
