Nostalgic indeed.
The Bristol 170 - last one I saw was outside the museum at RAAF Pt. Cooke in Victoria. Well worth a visit if you ever go to the Avalon show.

My father was one of the two Carvair Test Pilots at BUA when FAL was the boss. Never got to fly in one, but used to watch them when left in the Ops rooms when he was out flying.
I recall seeing an E-Type Jag on the scissor lift and exclaiming out loud that it was not going to get under the underside of the ATL.98 it was being loaded on to - crunch (they had long bonnets in those days)
