A fellow historian in Bundaberg assures me that HKS was moved off the airport in August 98 to a vacant site opposite Duncan's Scrapyard. The aeroplane disappeared about two years ago and is presumed to have been scrapped. However, it is possible that it was relocated and "ended up with some bloke living in it on his five acre block near Bundaberg" as you recall. Further research is required.

The two aircraft which were sunk would therefore appear to have been HEI and HKT. A photo of HIX in the Majestic livery shows that the aircraft did carry the last letter of the registration over the centre windshield (answering my own question earlier). As the foremost of the two waterborne aircraft is carrying an "I" in this position, it must be HEI and the aircraft astern must be HKT.

Have you guys considered having your reunion on the Sunshine Coast? (Closer to HIX at the Qld Air Museum).

Cheers
