Wal Walters (right) wasn't the first pilot to fly A8-129 but he became the first pilot to fly it in Australia when he delivered A8-129 to Amberley in June 1973. Steve Clarke (left) was the last pilot to fly A8-129 before the aeroplane was retired in December 2010. Forty years after A8-129 arrived in Australia, her "First and Last" pilots were photographed together at the handover ceremony on 28 June 2013. Image: Walters Family
