The 13 July 1973 response from the Department of Civil Aviation regarding the wing fire on Beech Queen Air VH-FDV at Lansdowne Station on 19 October 1971 (not 20 December as stated in the letter). Ironically, this letter about a fire damaged aeroplane is itself fire damaged having been salvaged from the ruins of Jan Ende's house!Source: Jan Ende Collection QUEENSLAND AIR MUSEUM www.qam.com.au |
