No Lucille, AAC went out of business in the late 1990’s.

Back then there would have have been no rescue choppers and limited night search capability with fixed wing aircraft.

Does anyone know whether the RAAF would have been involved in the search?

Does anyone know when the first aircraft were dispatched for the search and where from-assuming Melbourne basin?

Who run the search co-ordination, and how long did the search go for?

A workmate, flew DC-3’s, across Bass Stait into King Island and Tasmania on night freight and he reckons some older Skippers had some interesting stories about seeing strange lights about the time DSJ disappeared.
