KWK Transport

Hello Emeritus,
not sure if previous reply got thru'
Flew for Lou '66 to '69. In '66 it was a DH Beaver, KWK, and a couple of Cessna 205's, FXK & KYK. The latter finished up gutted at Kunmunya -
long story.. ref 'quarterly funnies' of '67. Ferried Beaver to DH Sydney and
replaced with C55 Baron, KXK. Later a C35 (?) Debonair which was mostly
for 'Lou's use', KZK! ...Also a V-tail Bonanza which inherited the 'historic'
c/s KWK.
I am now retired from an airline career in the UK, but the Derby years
and characters will never leave me. .. Coming back home for a visit next
week and can't wait!

ps. Kevin employed the majority of his time running (successfully) the
local betting shop. Dick Roberton ( a decent bloke although I'm ashamed to say I hardly spoke to him), was a sworn enemy of Lou's.
