October 2024 meeting and Shed Run

This meeting was held at Centenary Park Mareeba and was followed by lunch at the Leagues Club then shed runs to Kevin and Sue Mcgregors and Michael Burnetts.

He has recently completed a replica Alfa which was on display. Michael explained that the build took him 2318 hours and is completely aluminium with the exception of the firewall and cockpit floor. the body has been completely hand formed without the use of a buck.
