The Brass Monkey Club are a group of Tiger Moth flying enthusiasts based in a Camden near Sydney Australia. They are lovers of flying during the winter months in Oz between June and September. Surprisingly to a lot of folk around the world the temperature in Sydney gets pretty cold in the winter. Early morning flying in an open cockpit plane at 5000ft can freeze your "naughty bits" with temps from zero to minus 10 degrees C. So it was for this reason The Brass Monkey Club was formed back in June 2004 to promote their crazy cause.

These mad guys grabbed some British Brass monkeys and took to the air, resulting in one of the most comprehensive "wind testing" trials for our pants. Click here to see a 60 second video clip of their hilarious pantastic flight over Auz. (look carefully for pants attached on the wings, in front of the cockpit and genuine brass monkey stickers everywhere - even their goggles. Go on take a quick look. The 20 minute original video is just so fab we had to award these guys with every Brass monkey prize going. Below we have added a few stills, but you have to see the video to understand how mad they really are…………….

In addition to the video and pics the lovely folks at The Aussie Brass Monkey Club also wrote a little poem for all of you Monkey fans to share. The mad men in particular who we all thank and praise for their wonderful efforts are Steve Runnalls, Niall Higgins and all of the Brass Monkey Club members.

Mutual Monkey Mailings

Whilst searching for a link
My heart began to sink
The Net seemed a little lacking
Of web sites with some backing
From monkeys with like mind
They are truly hard to find
Then I came across "You Crew"
With the same brass monkey view
Oh what a great delight
To a monkey who loves flight
To find some great suppliers
Of undies for us flyers
At the end of our winter season
We monkeys have good reason
For rewarding a lucky member
Who flew June to September
So now we can be funky
And present our chosen monkey
A prize of great aplomb
To adorn their flying bum
So for the person who braves the cold without a single care
A matching set of "Brass Monkeys" camouflage underwear
So next time they are flying, up in the wild blue yonder
It will give them time to mull, to contemplate and ponder
On whose pants the seat of which, they fly
"Brass Monkeys" is the answer for the girl or guy
They wear them with pride in drought, wind rain and thunder
The best damn undies flying, above the land down under!!!
