As to aircraft type and who, basically anything that carried a navigator with an astrodome into the 70’s [yes, I know, you don’t need the astrodome in the Catalina!]

We learnt the basics at college in the mid-60’s, taking shots from the roof of the college at night.

Qantas navigators used them in the DC-4 service to Norfolk Island into the late ’70’s. A mate of mine used one in several North Atlantic crossings in his Navajo.

Cumbersome and challenging at times [never could get a bubble without help!!], but reliable.

Excellent! Well done!!

G’day 😉

Off topic, but what is more revealing is that you had to do a COURSE to be an “authorised person”!!:confused:

Was this the beginning of the end or simply a continuance of the bureaucracy?

G’day 😉

A magic restoration!!

Congratulations!:D

With Shell sponsorship of the fuel [count the big radials in the list!?], HARS has been doing Anzac Day flypasts in the Illawarra for several years.

Shellharbour and Wollongong have been there from the start, last year Kiama was added and this year Albion Park and Sydney joined the event.

While the Connie was an original and the Winjeel was sold by its owner, the ex-Mil Neptune P2V-7, C-47B, DH-82A, DHC4, PBY-6A [configured to wartime -5A standard] all participated yesterday.

The Cat’s original wartime logbooks were also handed over to HARS at a ceremony yesterday.

G’day 😉

Ooops, wrong thread!

I thought this was the precursor to “Will it be at Legends?”

G’day 😉

G’day 😉
