Cheers Dora, should have spotted it was Manjimup: spent time there firespotting '74-'75.
There was a Baron based there, another ex Civil's one I think. Belonged to a local engineering company.
Logbook check: last Manjimup entry was a 58 Baron, FMR.
BSD.
p.s thread drift? You are right and you all have my apologies but they were exciting times and there wasn't a wretched LCC in sight! Pilots even got paid to fly, can you imagine that? And, Barons were a sheers delight.
