Oh yes those memories........if you (Claret, EWL et al) would like some great memories, try a websie called:
http://www.airliners.net/
In the keywords area type in say 'Trans Australia Airlines' and behold the feast of memories there. Beautiful Electra and Viscount shots, marvellous EN shots of the crowded tarman. DC6's, new delivery DC9's the works.
Specifically there is a photographer George Canciani who must have spent all of the 60s and 70s snapping at that airport and Tulla bless him. I sent him a thankyou email for posting all those photos for our enjoyment and I'm sure you will too after seeing them.
