Happy Centenary Charlie Q

I intend to celebrate the day by reading the last two chapters of Elizabeth Fysh's wonderful book "When Chairmen were Patriots", the story of Sir Fergus McMaster and the other founders of Qantas. While they didn't have to contend with a pandemic, for there were no airlines to speak of when the previous pandemic struck in 1918, they did have to contend with the Great Depression and their aeroplanes being shot down.
