(When RB moved to Perth to fly for Doug Muir he upgraded to a snappy
little MG. He flew Doug's Baron 'the fast one' and the Travelair 'the quiet one'. That was how the Beechcraft were respectively billed in the air charter sales brochure. Much later RB was flying to the ice in Skytrader's A319, a checkie. Over in the west he shared the flying with the late Grant 'Slim' Rosier)
