Yes, I was delighted to see CFK at Caboolture a few years back - another flood of memories.

Not quite the sole survivor of the 1960's CFS fleet now (C55's CFA and CFB are still on the register too), also FDV (a Beech 65) is still around - employed by CFS, I flew many hours "bringing a mantle of rescue and salvation to the people of the Kimberley" in this one, based in Derby.

If you've read the Rag & Tube article, both Barons mentioned - C55 CFG and B55 CFO - met their ends in a remarkably similar fashion; both were lost in mismanaged nocturnal departures.
