can't recall the name but it had "East" in it somewhere
Try Unionair.
lease it as an aerial photography platform during the 1970s
Not so much photography but Aerodist, radar prifile recording and then Airborne Profile Recording (laser) with the WREMAPS during the 60s and 70s in both FWG and RUU. RUU had the WREMAPS and FWG had the Aerodist and radar.
Aerodist and the radar APR were being used by Adastra using the Husdon. Unionair won the contract 1967 or thereabouts.

The work was a considerable stimulus to the physics research in both establishments. At MRL, solid state and dye lasers were developed; and a carbon dioxide laser was constructed. From 1967, L. E. S. Mathias was the leader, and innovations included construction of a 2 kilowatt continuous power laser, the first reported electron beam-controlled CO2 laser, the first atmospheric pressure laser, and the first using plasma injection. Much of the work was directed to laser-damage sensitivity of materials, and to laser safety.
The complementary work at WRE, under the leadership of F. F. Thonemann, was on the instrumental use of lasers. Several kinds were built, and experiments conducted on modulation, switching, and frequency multiplication. An early application was the development for the Division of National Mapping of an airborne system (WREMAPS) to measure ground profiles accurately. Later, using frequency doubling to obtain green light from a neodymium laser, they produced a more efficient system called WREMAPS II for the Royal Australian Survey Corps.
