G'day 'Stationair'.....
Just a small correction,
That operator was JAN BEERS, of Jan Beers Aviation.
At one time had about 5 Be-58 Barons, then got down to just one.
Perth based, but with ops wherever he found an opportunity.
If the 'Hardys' DC3 is regd MMA, then I do believe it was re-reg'd under that name to celebrate its history as being VH-MMA the former flagship of MMA.
It wound up in PNG, then was imported back by Maslings as MWQ way back in the early '70's or thereabouts. Later to be renamed to its former callsign.
As far as the 'changing times' went, in 1970, I used to do an RPT ex PD on a local 'station' run which used to be covered by MMA Doves and two pilots.
Moi was in a C206, or even a 182 sometimes, and the biggest workload of the flight was the RPT manifests / mail /freight paperwork which was supposed to be done 'as you went'...
Dems were the days....
