The late Ernie Mills of Cressy in Tasmania's midlands had VH-EDM
Often he would fly to his essential oil (tea-tree) farm near Yeppoon
staging through Bourke northbound or southbound.
WTFIGO and I were based there with Maslings, 1967.
Once Ernie had the distinction of landing very late in the day at his
Cressy strip . . . right on top of a horse . Horse came off second best.
EDM needed some attention before Ernie flew her again.
EDM is still based there, owned and operated by a nephew of Ernie.
Ernie learned to fly in England in the mid 30s on an autogyro
at Hanworth (I think). One Gatenby imported one to Tasmania.
