KWK Transport...Derby WA

Any one out there know of this company that operated out of Derby in the 60's.
I was their first pilot when the Company was set up by Lou Kent in June of 61 operating a C182 VH-KWK. I was sent up from Schutt Aircraft at MRB (who sold the a/c to them) to teach Lou and his son Kevin to fly and to do charter work.
Returned to MRB in early Oct. Have often wondered what happened to the outfit as they no longer exist. Did hear somewhere they eventually acquired a twin of some sort.

In those days the 182 plus another 182 and Horrie Millers Wackett were the only singles between Port Hedland and Darwin...how things have changed!!
