I was lucky enough back in the 70's to be put thru a company course for both engine & airframe licences. Just in time for them both to be retired!!!! They used to be the best maintained 125's in the world!!!! Maintained regardless of cost!!!! Those were the days when Qantas actually spent money & maintained aeroplanes!!!!! Funny Hey!!!!! The company continued to pay the licence ratings even though the aircraft were retired. Sad to see ECE in such condition. At least the Air Cond inlet scoop (Leading edge at root of fin) is still blanked off!!!!!! Was the FE who bought it first name Dave???? They used to be excellent aircraft for LAMES to sleep in on night shift too!!!!! Ahhhh memories..........
