EDITORIAL 
We have quite a good spread of articles this issue for your interest. I thank all those who have taken the time to send me articles  - of course if we don't get these we, don't have a Journal. Please don't stop.
At the time of writing I am reading the first of the Ansett collapse books, I certainly hope we have a member out there who will do something for "AH" on this important historic event.
Slowly, but inevitably the old timers are leaving us, we don't have all that much time to record their lives, which  we should do.
If you can, attend your local Branch meeting, you'll will be among friends!

Editors wish list;
