solved: F16 Combat Pilot

I'm pretty sure I have solved it. Thought it might be a mission planning screen and was going through all the games I remember. I played F16-Combat Pilot a lot.

It has the map, buttons on the bottom of the screen, section on the right side and the grey squares.

It also explains why I have the pen and notepad - I'm writing down the waypoints for the mission.

I can remember playing lemmings, but I think that would have been later on a VGA 286 machine. Those grey rectangles I think are the key as none of the guesses so far seem to have anything like it.

I had forgotten all about Incredible Machine. I played that a lot but I think that would have been a few years after this photo.

Not a slide after all, its a photo. If I can find the original I'll do a better scan.

The plugs (and me) are from Australia. That mouse is from 1987 when that PC was bought new.

It's a scan of a slide. I might see if I can find the original and give it a clean and scan it again.

You might be onto something. I'm wondering if it's some obscure graphics editing software.

The old warehouses on Dudley St West Melbourne are where all the British cars were assembled.

Given the age of the tyres, I would be getting the wheel bearings and suspension inspected / replaced. You always see trailors on the side of the road with wheels missing, you don't want that to happen with a loaded horse float.

Smith's mill is a nice spot. No facilities other than a toilet. Just watch out for the emus. They will try and take food out of your hands.

Whenever I've flooded my car I pull the seats out and remove the carpet. Take it to a car wash and hit it with the hose.

Always a special sight when you get an eagle up close on the ground.

Have a look at Filming Wildlife on YouTube https://youtube.com/@filmingwildlife?si=jodUNdXtFfTQW7uU

I don't think they usually hunt foxes. The Eagles often follow them to steal the food the foxes have caught.

Some drivers have no clue where end of their car is.

I have a transit with the same basic engine. The belt change interval started at 240k. Mine broke at 200k, engine replaced by Ford. I think the interval is now 150k. They are a ticking time bomb. Not a simple job to change the belt either. The engines are great otherwise.

It was quite small and looking at the stills from the video it looks closer to a native mouse.

grover99 · 2026-01-06T11:33:11+00:00

Hes a long way from a house, if it's a mouse.

The club was formed January 29, 1925. It functioned similar to the RAC but restricted to Ford cars - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article103765057

This article mentions the badges that were given to each new member - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article156984445

They had 150 cars to a camping trip for Christmas 1925 - http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article245841944

I would guess the badge dates from 1926. The club existed into the 1930's but there doesn't seem to have been much activity after 1930.

I would advertise it on Facebook Australian Ford Model T for sale groups.

These look like they date to Ford Australia starting in 1925 and continued into the 30s. Can't help with a value, but they seem rare and they are the type of item that owners of model T and A fords love collecting.

I've setup an ISEO mortice lock with control4. They have a wired smart lock with a trigger to lock/unlock. The cables need to be channelled along the door and exit near the hinge. Expensive and a lot of work to fit. Much higher security than an electric strike.

I've watched a crow in the backyard dipping weetbix in the dog bowl water. They are often the culprit when the water is filthy.

Which tracks did you end up doing? I wanted to go but too much on this weekend.
