Little Robert Tinus from ARNHEMS went to Singapore Flying College in Singapore where he worked for quite a while as the CFI of the C172 flying training. I don't know where he went after 99.

Ronarto Malavisi (RTW) to his mates is a skipper with the Q on 737's

S8 the navy guy was a reservist I think, first name was Tony ..... he also flew the Pawnee at Batchelor for the gliding club

Skypig was still in Darwin in in 2003 when I was last there, flying at Hardy's I think.

Ivan was a top bloke and good friend, he passed very quickly from a late diagnosis of cancer. Sad day for many of us.

Bob Miller had a 55 baron in Darwin VH-RNL and Bex Johnston also had a 55 that he used to carry crabs around in. From memory all the helimuster ones were 58's. There was another operator in the mid 80's in the rotors hangar just next to Arnhems, they uesd to have few barrons as well.
