I had the fun of working with the FDS out of Long Reach, Queensland as a med student back in 1985. Best 4 weeks I ever had, early morning rises, small aircraft with clear air turbulance on the return flight in the evening, lots of grateful patients who endured so much, much more than a lot of my patients up here do.
Cheers
Duncan

Thanks for that insight to your youth Duncan 
The link below shows the back garden of the just closed old centre,with a retired Beechcraft.
It's a tight squeeze inside that fuselage.

Spring 2002, 2 weeks with RFDS out of Meekatharra, absolutely fantastic work and cured me of any fear of flying!
