Chris Hill I have your description of the ownership trail of VH-AGA (Aerocommander 500A. You mention Scapela Bianca P/L and Jim Richardson. Jim had bought VH-AGA from others (Maybe East West) and based it at Moruya. Scapela Bianca P/L bought it outright from him and flew it to Canberra where a removable plug was fitted to the camera hole. Four Cessna 206 seats were fitted to the cabin. The instrument panel was changed to allow the IFR category. The mention of work in this change at Essendon is not accurate Fri, May 16, 2008 08:01 am 101

Allan R Bringolf I was a geophysics operator 1963-1966 Mon, May 12, 2008 14:42 pm 100

Peter Oakes I am carrying out research on a speedway book and wonder if anyone can help me with the actual date and circumstances of death of Lionel Van Praag? I understand it was May, 1987 in Brisbane but am looking for confirmation of the details. Mon, Feb 25, 2008 01:29 am 72

David Rowlands I want to pay tribute to Kevin Pavlich. He chronicled my father, Ken Rowlands' history with Adastra. Kevin's dedication with getting the facts straight and his immense photo collection made this site a legacy for future generations. I was saddened by Kevin's passing, he was a truly great person. Thanks mate! Wed, Feb 13, 2008 21:49 pm 71

Peter G NEWMAN Great effort to put together the history. Was serching for information on VH-DAS and came accross your site. My father flew DAS for several years out of Adelaide subcon'd from TAA. Regards, Peter Newman(Virgin Blue) Fri, Feb 8, 2008 13:03 pm 68

Lindsay Rowlands Today Kevin Pavlich takes his final journey. Farewell Kev, and thanks for the memories. Kev was one of my Dad's (Ken Rowlands) best mates. I remember him from the late fifties when I was a kid in Sydney. He was a super bloke, always happy, friendly and a bit of a larrikin - often the subject of or co-conspirator in many of my Dad's stories. It was a real thrill when he called a few years ago to have a chat, though I regret not having kept in touch. He'll be greatly missed. Fri, Feb 8, 2008 10:02 am 67

Cay Carpenter I became known to Kevin in the past few years, although I never met him. Through both Kevin and Ron Cuskelly I gave details of my own Dad's involvement with Adastra from 1945-1952. Ron has placed much on the website. I wish Kevin 'God's Speed', and hope that all those old Adastrians now up there in Heaven will get the opportunity to swap yarns. Wed, Feb 6, 2008 18:14 pm 66

Pat Pavlich I thought it would be appropriate to use the website Dad loved so much, which kept his mind active and gave him purpose in his final years, to say........"We're goin' to miss you ol' mate!" Tue, Feb 5, 2008 10:13 am 65

Wal Bowles Very sad to hear of the death of Kevin Pavlich. We flew together in VH-AGA out of Melbourne in 1960, Kevin as navigator and myself as pilot. Bill Mitchell was the engineer and John Collins the camera operator. Kev was a very competent survey navigator, who told me where to go many times. He navigated VH-AGA accurately when we photographed the eastern foreshores of Port Phillip Bay (See Adastriana) Tue, Feb 5, 2008 06:44 am 64

Bill Slarks Joe Linfoot was my late uncle and I had my first flight with him in a Hudson out of Mascot. I am not sure of the date but it was an IFR training flight for Joe. I do have a correction to add to your records re the letter of condolence that my brother Noel supplied from Bunny to my mother after Joe's accident: My mother was not Hermies sister she was in fact her sister-in-law, my father was Hermies brother.
