I recall seeing one of Forrestair's Pigs (that's what everyone called
a Piaggio Fuctifino back then - probably get arrested by the Oz PC
police if you called it one now) at Essendon and blast off from 17.

Does that thing have the curvature of the Earth built in its P-charts?
I think its the only way it eventually got off the deck!

Billy Thorpe and the Aztrucks - haven't heard them in yonks. They
still doing gigs? Mr Thorpe must be a bloody old geezer by now....
