Me; started 13/12/74 and did 2 seasons. Alec Macdonald gave me the job after I hounded him at at Jandakot. It was Airwork Australia then who had the contract and Greg Simpson worked in the office at the time. There were already 3 pilots in Manjimup when I joined, all from NASA at Cessnock.
Subsequently ended up in the UK, flew an Aero Commander 500a, then the Handley-page Herald, the CL-44, 737, 747, 757, and 767.
Best off-field landing for me; landing on the main road (gravel) into Northcliffe to pick up a forestry officer who needed to view an out-of-control, control burn.
Happy days. To those of you that get the job, enjoy every minute.
BSD.
