This is a most interesting thread!!

I lived in Darwin from mid 1979 to early December 81 whilst working for a major Auto spare parts company. Left to go and work on a seismic company with the aim of earning enough to do a CPL.

For the last 18 months I shared a 'tree house' with a Pilot who then worked coastwatch and through him met more than a few other pilots who worked for some of the companies mentioned by various posters.

And one person that I can truthfully say I met back then was the person who now calls himself Tinpis!

But unfortunately, I would'nt have a clue which one of the blokes he was/is!!

Tinny's reminiscences of Darwin in post #101 certainly bring back memories!!
