Good to see us fellow kultural types on Pprune that go to museums.
Looking at a flight crew members logbook on display it showed a sector Sydney to Hobart of close to 8 hours and the next day the aircraft went to Hobart to New Zealand. The flight crew member did about 340 hurs in three months just by my rough calculations.
The continous video certainly covered some of the more inteseting aspects of Flying Boat opaertions.
Imagine a Flying Boat operating out of Sydney Harbour today, wouldn't the tree huggers, nimby's, government departments, local government, CASA and other associated rockapes have a field day trying to stop it.
Did the Ansett flying boat crews have a seniority number in mainline Ansett mainline? When the flying boat operation stopped did the t move over or get pensioned off?
