Interesting article (http://blogs.crikey.com.au/planetalking/2012/12/29/canberra-gets-new-year-747-party-jet-and-will-moruya-get-a-new-cat-to-go-with-its-jets/)Ben Sandilands – Plane talking for discussion, raises some interesting points, but the bit caught my eye was:-
There was also a Moruya airport cat that couldn’t resist bounding up the rear stairs of the Friendship while the flight was turned around. It was such a part of the scene that the hostesses as they were once called would be ready to pour a saucer of milk for the moggy as soon as it stuck its head around the corner. Struck a memory chord, there was a family of white moggies at YMRY, each generation as deaf as the last. Hostie training knowledge passed along from the tit. Young K was told a story (over a cold one) that the 'first of type' went to Sydney in a wheel well, came back first class, but stone deef, (Dak or F27); and thus began the legend. Remember the dog with an airside ID and a non PC name, at YSSY, belong Pat Nolan. Every time you got on a tug, up popped the dog for ride. Ah, for the old, simple days eh? :D
