I was a member from about ‘86, but don’t remember much about that aircraft. My logbook shows some time in a different PA 28 (BYE). Most of my time in Club aircraft was in Comanche 260B - AZK - flown with 3 other RAAFies in the Bicentennial Round Australia Air Race. Dave McKinnon (then WNG CDR), Alex Archer (then SQN LDR), me (a nobody) plus one other, whose name escapes me, were the team. Haven’t kept in contact with them, though.
Merv Mudge might have been a good source of info as he was at Richmond at the time (we were both posted in at the same time for the same project in ‘81) but he tragically passed away in a Jabiru forced landing last year.
Jon Johanson at a stretch? My recollection is that he owned/part owned the Comanche. That’s when I met him. I think he was working as a nurse in the Richmond area at the time.

Reason: Corrected Comanche 260C to 260B (due to sharp eyed research by my friend GIII).
