Re: [Aus-soaring] C Arthur Butler
The department may not change its spots and politicians may be fairly impotent. However we now have Anita Taylor on the board and I hope that she stays for a long time. Zephyrus has been cleared to continue as a club trainer, despite a panic attack by CASA. So it is not entirely doom and gloom. There can be an opportunity sometimes to get a good result. It does however require some work.

[Aus-soaring] C Arthur Butler
Probably 25 years ago while staying at the B&B on Tooraweenah Airport during gliding safari, Mrs Hallett would play a cassette of a songs about Mr Butlet and his airline. I am wondering if any who stayed there have a copy? I do know Bathurst club would often have a summer camp there for msny years. Scott Casson has recently written a book "The Yellow Canary" from Butler Air Transport to Ansett Express. If you are interested in that era (QAL is there also) of Aviation then could recommrnd the book. (Could ask Scott email secass...@gmail.com or 0421610470.) My interest is as a 12 year old I had my first flight on a Butler Elizabethian for £1 and we went Casino Oakey & return. Mr Butler (not as pilot) came for the trip and talked to us all. He did signed our tickets "C Arthur Butler welcome aboard" Scott is thinking of another book Kendal/Hazelton to REX so if you have knowledge of that era please pass it on to Scott. Scott is with Virgin Engineering (head Electrical) these days and is a true enthusiast for aviation history. Mr Butler never talked to Mr Ansett who took over (hostile) his airline. Mr Butler then tried to start a new jet airline with Caravelle (French made-Australia had to get British & if you got a permit to import you had to pay think 6.25% or 8 1/3% duty) but he got the 18 month runaround from the then DCA. Nothing has changed in 50 years- a friend got the 2year runaround from now CASA to get a citation 7 on his AOC!!! The leopard will never change its spots I am afraid dispite government accepting 34 of the 37 recommendations for change in Aviation. The MPs are around for just 3 years & CASA high level staff consider they know it all about Aviation & again. will just ignore the MPsl Sad but true I am afraid.
