Centaurus,
I can confirm his very calm approach to everyday flying ---- the standing joke, after this incident, and including the dummy bomb discovery, was that his pulse rate skyrocketed from a normal 56 bpm to 57.
As a S/O I flew with him often, lovely bloke.
Tootle pip!!
PS: You left out Gunnedah and Boggabri for the air drops of the papers ---- it always amuses me that you could get the Sydney papers by about 07.30 in 1948, now, with luck, late afternoon.
