Cessna 310 cloud seeding 1980's

Centaurus:

Not sure about the 1980's but in 1966 and 1967 I did a lot of flying on cloud seeding in Cessna 310's, VH-TTM, VH-AER and VH-RLY. It was done for the CSIRO and we operated mainly from Dubbo, meeting the weather fronts out at the South Australian / New South Wales border and if they were suitable, then we would seed them until the front left the New South Wales Pacific coast. If weather came in from either the North or South we would do the same thing.

It was good for the IF training and Ice handling.
