“We need to go to the airport” says the Petrol-in-the-veins enthusiast
Wow, a surprise romantic trip for two, I fleeting think, stupidly, it is after all only a few days to our Anniversary
“I need to go buy the Avgas & the nearest place is Coolangatta Airport”
Say what!!!! thinks I
“Don’t you listen to me when I talk to you”? he asks
“I have explained to you before that the Avgas Mark used to get me, is a high octane aviation fuel used to power many aircraft & racing cars & now since Mark isn’t there at the Airport I now need to source it from else where
He really is such a thoughtful man, he had read abt a craft show that was on down the coast at the same time, so thought he could drop me off first, but I declined
Off we go an hour & a half away, luckily for him, enroute stopping at the strawberry farm for the mandatory strawberry ice-cream
We have a 20mins wait whilst the guy fuels up a helicopter, then they carry the 5 20 litre containers to the truck to be taken away to be filled
Mounting fuel prices $2.30 a litre in NSW was only $1.70 in Qld
