Dear Fris,
Thanks so much for the info on AustAirData. I found a great photo of VH-IAL in its original green / white colours at Bankstown as I remember it when I qualified with a PPL Much of my training was on VH-SVW which had a similar colour scheme as IAL but red / white.. I also flew on occasions a Grumman Cheetah, and Cessna 172.
Lance,
