Was in my doctors' waiting room this morning and happened to pick up a
magazine with an interesting story.


Not a new story - or magazine - this happened in 1967. A local pilot,
Tony Schwerdt flew 6 Mustangs (that he'd bought from the government) out of
the South Australian desert, where they'd been used as part of the British
atomic bomb tests in the '50s.

All without the help or consent from the Civil Aviation Authority, who took
him to court for a severe knuckle-rapping and a fine of $40.


Now I'm off to return the magazine before it gets noticed.
