Deaf muses:
I never heard of any resolution of the landing/fuel theft/TO incident at Colac that evening.
Might also be the reason nothing is ever spoken about the Army Reserve excercise a couple of years later that spent some time looking in farm sheds around western Victoria. I understand they found all manner of interesting 'things' during that particular excercise.
I happened to be riding shotgun for a mate doing some Class 4 currency (now NVMC) in eastern Victoria that night and we listened to the whole thing, courtesy of frequency re-transmit.
1978, hell! that is nearly 30 years ago
