The first 500k in Australia was flown by (I think) Stuart Dohnt in a Ka6 out of Waikerie. That sort of started the whole thing off. The Boomerang then came and very quickly more records were being flown that you could shake a stick at. Again, mostly from Waikerie, Jinks, Rowe knocking off triangles regularly.
I'm not sure it was Stuart but I don't have the AG's handy to check. 10 years later we were hosting the World Comps. Considering most Nationals pilots up to 1967 only had Silver C it wasn't a bad effort.
