Wiz, Stoddard started EAAC with a batch of ex RAAF BAC1-11's, which he broke up to start his parts trading company, he then went on to take most of the ex BCal and BA 1-11's and ended up operating them, not just braking them. After that he aquired the 737-200's, then 747-200's.
Its a shame Australia cant catch up with the rest of the world and utilise secondary airports. Aeroplanes using airports... it's an alien concept to some Aussies it would seem...
