Herc 213 IP: 121.222.136.29 Posted on 28/5/2019 at 12:08:34 PM by Bernie DESMOND
Under orders from the Chief of Air Staff aka Avril my wife I have to clean up all the RUBBISH in my desk….Herc no 213 was the first R A A F to fly around the World in October 1960. The crew were Pookie Leonard & Doc Davey and with Bill Massey 7 Paul?Radford in the front seats......I have the Route Itenery. etc but would like to know more about the Aircraft.... It did not end up in the group for spares etc at Laverton. Any Imfo would be appreciated to finish the history I know it was 59 years ago, I am 90 PLUS now so I thought some of you youngsters may remember this part of the Hercybird Life Thanks Replies:
