Thats interesting - 1932 - the same year the Sydney Harbour Bridge opened.
Noel was a bit of a fixture, part of the furniture so to speak. Is he still with us?
Anyone here with first hand accounts of Reg Munro?
Aviation has been very good for Flinders Island.

Noel Bowland is alive and well on Flinders Island.

Many a hangar rat got their start with FIA, loading the Ansons and later the B-18s with groceries outbound and 120 lb hessian sacks of live crayfish back to YMMB.
Fun days. Never had two cents to rub together but ironically still happy.
