Thank you for that - it's certainly becoming a busy little place now.

Mind you it had its moments when it was Melbourne Airport - particularly
on a Friday evening.

John B et al,

For those interested in older images from Essendon Airport, this site has
some very interesting shots on it. Might bring back a memory or two for
John if you were there then.

Thanks P50

Very interesting shots and so nostalgic. I was on the day the first Carvair
taxyed past and the Senior Tower Controller asked what type of aircraft it
was. The reply was quite long - starting with Carvair and then going through
all the conversion process.

Eventually the tower managed to get a few words in ........... "Do it
yourself?"
