Barry,
RE: CAW?? (I haven't seen the pic. referred to) but currently
languishing in (in, not on) the grass a Moorabbin is an ex-DCA 560E,
untouched for quite a while, was not in good shape after the last
annual years ago (2001 ??) and I believe the owner then never found a
buyer. As the rego. is painted over, I assume the registration has
been cancelled, given Australia noise rules it will be very hard to
re-register.Unless somebody takes pity on it, it's likely to be cut
up for scrap. it had one almost zero hours engine, reasonable props,
only VFR radio, and the autopilot was in a cardboard box.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton

Hi Russell,
I'm just now getting round to cataloguing the photos you kindly gave
me at the Fly-In.
There are a few I cannot i/d properly, as the regn isn't visible in
the shots.
So, can you i/d them from the following descriptions of hangar shots
and also include the date & location?
1. Commander bottom right with Dornier 228 behind it.
2. Commander bottom left, with VH-BLT Beech 58P behind it.
3. Commander fuselage, ex Amann scheme next to flight of stairs,
with "Caution mind your head" sign at the top.
Also, can you give me the date & location of these ones, which I can
i/d?
1. VH-EXV - no spinner and panels off nacelle. Port side shot,
square on.
2. VH-YJA - at Essendon? Port side shot, square on. Has eyebrow
windows!
3. VH-KAK - outside GAM hangar. Starboard side shot, square on. Has
VH-UJV tail behind it.
4. VH-YJM - outside GAM hangar. Unpainted, Port side shot, square
on.
5. VH-MAV - at Essendon? Port side shot, square on. Wettenhall Air
Services titles.
6. VH-CAW - at Moorabbin? Has hangar with "Hinery" titles in
background. Starboard side shot, square on.
7. VH-UJY - Port side shot, square on. Has windshield cover in
place.
Apologies for being a pain in the butt!
Very Best Regards,
Barry

`morning Bob,
Jog your memory? I had to dig up my old `dog tags' to wear to remember
who I am. "My Daily Routine": I wake up(that's a good thing) make a pot
of coffee(that's even better) check my `dog tags' against the `obits' in
the morning paper & if my name isn't in there I check my `to do' list.
After checking that I usually decide to take a nap before doing anything
rash......that `to do' list just keeps growing & growing & growing. From
the mid `60s to early `80s most of my flying activities centered around
MDW & for many years we had a charter service & approved flight school
there. This resulted in countless student dual flights to the (at that
time) many airports in the Chicago area. Among the few names that still
stick in my memory banks(Willy Howell sr.& jr.,Wally Sedgwick,George
Priester sr.& jr.,Ester Nofke, Vic Jacobs, Monty Montgomery) Siegfried
is one of them (probably a Freudian slip of some kind). I believe our
common topics were Brookridge air park from dream to fruition & a shared
love-hate relationship with the many variations of the Stearman. Hope
this jogs the memory. Dan
