S n S...
Thanks for that info. Did not realise there were two Falcons and age does not help in matters of long ago.
Whilst learning to fly I worked at Schutts as general dogsbody. I was even junior to the apprentices.
One of my duties was making out the invoices and the forms had a logo of the Falcon showing the reg.
The a/c as I recall was purchased around 60/61 by a LAME from Tas who I presume made another wing.
When I got my CPL I started to do some flying in the 175 RFJ mainly "suckerbashing" as we called it. Quite lucrative...charter rates were 12 quid an hour or 2/6 per mile whereas joyriding would return up to 36 quid/ hour on occasions.
Operations were much more relaxed in those days. We enjoyed good relations with the ATC guys....Bob Oldfield,Charlie Stewart and Charlie Hyatt.
Anyone know if they are still around? Would be well and truly retired by now.
Did my CPL theory at RMIT with an Alan Hatfield....any relation?
