There were 4 Bristol Freighters still in service at the time of Tracy (ADL, SJG, SJQ and TBB) so it is conceivable that they were used for disaster relief. Supporting evidence would be welcomed.

There is anecdotal evidence that RAAF Caribou and Ansett Air Freight Electras were used. It surprises me that no Bou drivers have come forward thus far. If you know one please ask him to check his log book. Similarly any Wombat crews.

Thanks again folks for all the input. I reckon I'm up to date with the list so if your flights do not appear please give me a reminder using the email link on the page.
