Morno, couldn't have put it better myself - she definitely didn't suffer fools gladly. Even though she's no longer refuelling, she is still helping people as she has always done. A Chieftain turned up this afternoon unannounced (third aircraft to do so in the last 5 days); she spoke to the pilot & suggested that he would need to go to Olympic Dam to refuel. The aircraft will be airworking in the Leigh Creek area for the next couple of days, & the pilot asked Rosie if he could ring her from Olympic Dam at 7.30 in the morning to see what the cloud cover was like. She agreed - now if that's not being helpful then I don't know what is!

Well the axe appears to have finally fallen! Heard yesterday that Rosie has been officially informed that Gilbarco will be shortly sending someone to remove the bowsers and the tanks will be removed in due course.
Apparently, according to BP, that just is'nt good enough to warrant replacing the tanks.
Well done BP!
from the beginning of this year until they closed her down she had gone through just over 114,000 litres of Avgas & nearly 99,000 litres of Jet.
Well done BP!

Gazing into my crystal ball, I see Rosie becoming the guardian of many 200 litre drums. And wait - what is that writing I see on them? Could it be - yes it is - MOBIL!!!! Bwahahaaaaa!!

The End!
Just heard from Rosie that the contractors have today commenced removing the tanks and bowsers.
Well done BP.
That's all, Folks!
