601 - I see you have some knowledge of Snows operation; you would prob then recall Capt Cranky, who flew a lot of those trips, from whom the info came on the profiles flown, later supported by Lang who I met when we did an Instrument Rating together. I make no assertions as to its accuracy, nor do I have any reason to doubt it. I do have somewhere in my store of memorobillia, some kodak snaps of said Capt Cranky with a reservoir 100% mask on, with the clock reading 35000. The bends story likewise came from them; while I was not there I am given to believe it is true.... do you know otherwise?
The 'legitimacy' referred to my presence in the RHS, not the operation per se.
After Independence in 1975, IIRC Snows Queenairs went on the Moomba (or was it Moonie) oilfield runs as well as night freight. Didn't they end up with Eastland at some point? FWG ended up doing beach darts at CDR. RUU went to Denis Behan eventually, I remember seeing its wings in a pile of aircraft bits at ROM.
