Airshow appearance coming up!
6 May 2026
Greetings Earthlings, It’s been a long time!
I have been preparing for the upcoming airshow, the Wings over Shellharbour in coastal New South Wales this May 16/17.
I’ve spent the last couple of years saving up for a truck and now I finally have one that is perfect for the job of towing the Viper trailer around the country on show.
In the last couple of months I have been upgrading and fine tuning the truck and trailer to survive the longer hauls, but also to make the trailer easy to set up and pack up on my own, with no extra help. I’ve secured the side panels better, repaired hinges, bolted the feet of the Viper to the chassis and added an electric winch to help me raise and lower the sides safely.
I’ve also added a remote camera inside the trailer and a display unit in the truck, so I can keep an eye on the Viper in transit.
In the next week before the show, I will also be receiving the uniforms I have designed, for myself and an assistant, so we look the part at the show and stand out a little as we represent.
The Viper will also be accompanied by the 1978 MkI Colonial Viper, built by my friend Scott Stewart in Queensland. Both Vipers old and new will be displayed side by side in a world-first appearance.
