Hi Ancient:
Lots of deja vu moments - coming back from the AAAA event at Echuca and I heard a "CFD", immediate thoughts of an immaculate maroon/gold/white B65, but of course it wasn't that aircraft (broken up at Parafield in the 1990's I believe).
I think Phil Reese (of AOPA fame) ended up flying SLB and their replacement A90 (DYN?). I'd heard that SLB ended up being burnt out a few years later after a botched/over-primed hot start, you'll recall that the IGSO-480 was a bit tricky in this situation.
Funny you mention being offered that job - in late 1969 I was offered a job flying Tom Wardle's ("Tom the Cheap Grocer") HS125, I'd also been accepted by Ansett and on the advice of Cliff Brown (WA HdeH manager) I took the latter, a decision I never regretted.
Now if only I could get Photobucket to work I could post some photos...
