Hi All We're off for the month of March to paint the house (boo! hiss! ), but are planning a few van-related activities to break up the monotony of sanding, scraping, power washing and applying acrylic. A day at the RacesWe're going to do a day at Caulfield for the Caravan and Camping show here in Victoria in a week or so. I'd like to get the car and van out together - unfortunately, the other week Aaron got out of the car, shut the door per normal, and the whole rear tailgate glass went to pieces. If we have time to replace with the other piece of rear glass we have, Chryssi can go along too - not towing, but to be parked with the van. The first time the van was used in two years was Xmas when we took her out for the first sortie to Portarlington. I was cleaning and packing the van at 10am the day we were due to check in (at 11am!) - so not too much in the way of extras. I still need to raid the cupboards and the shed for vintage stuff to set the scene for the day at the Races. A Blue Flyer WeddingWe were contacted by a lovely young couple who saw the Flyer here on the forum and wanted to involve her in their special day. Well, of course, when asked if she wanted to be in the wedding, the Blue Flyer said, "I do!" So in April, they will be married beachside, and the Flyer, a whole lot of vintage bits and bobs (see "scene setting" above), and the car will provide some "colour". So, watch out Cobber! We're horning in on your space. Cheers Seeshell

Well I hope the house doesn't need as many coats as the van LOL. All that work certainly paid off though - the surface looks like glass and I'm not surprised someone wants to include her in their wedding A superb effort!

Hi All Back in March were contacted by a lovely young couple who saw the Flyer here on the forum and wanted to involve her in their special day. As it turned out, they found the forum through a picture of our vintage curtain fabric. Her wedding dress was made of the same material – so it was fate! They wanted The Blue Flyer for their wedding snaps, so we made a day of it and packed up our vintage bits and bobs for a bit of fun. It was a lovely event – and here are a few of the shots from the very lovely afternoon. Reminiscent of all those early couples that married and headed off for their honeymoons in a van… Congratulations to the happy couple, Krystyna and Brett! Seeshell

G'day Seeshell, Great photos! The van is a perfect match for the wedding dress and the outfits of the bridal party, even beyond the curtains. What a lovely day you must have had, and good conditions for the photographs too - no rain. Don Ricardo

Good morning All - Just a happy message to say that The Blue Flyer has found a new family, living in Philip Island. Two little girls, who will enjoy the under counter bed as much as our daughter did at their age. . I've passed on the information about the forum, and links to her history page, so hope the new family joins soon. Best regards, Carley
