Going off track slightly , but l lived in Karumba in the good old days of Bush Pilot Airways, with the DC3 making its many stops from Cairns. That of course was buggered when it bacame Air Qld, and suddenly the F27 arrived for the Cairns -Weipa run with pilots in not only the standard white shirt, shorts and long socks, but sporting CAPs as well. That must have spelt the demise of the DC3. Happy days!
