My dad was a Butler captain on the Elizabetheans along with Russ Stapleton

Dad always said it was the best aircraft he had ever flown and was disappointed when they were replaced with the old Convair 240's

CAC SABRES model is great but I have the original BAT model of the Elizabethan that was Athurs office at home

I just remember meeting Arthur with my dad in the early 60s

He was a visionary who unfortunately trusted people, whereas Reg Ansett was a shark who lived off other people's dreams
