Finally something I'm not rostered to avoid!

I hope the presentation on ATC in the 50's isn't anti-NAS refresher training:8

Is there any truth to the persistant rumour the tea & coffee is produced from a genuine Henty House tea trolley?

[separator]

I hope the Henty House trolley does make an appearance, I still have some leftover tickets.

[Philthy]

Sorry: Dick got rid of the Henty House tea trolley in the early '90s.

We do, however, have some genuine tea tickets on display (yes, fair dinkum!).

Geoff Goodall is an authority on PNG aviation. His talk should be very interesting.

Not just PNG. Geoff is an authority on Australian aviation history. A guru actually.

Cheers

Fris. I'm indebted to Geoff for assistance with research into PNG aviation some 30 years ago - well before the internet and Google!
