    Norfolk was always a PITA as it’s on a 200 foot plateau and gets Advection Fog often so you couldn’t scud run…From memory in the 80s there was no ILS there…Only a VOR approach…No GPS in those days either…Only tracking on 3KW NDBs which were terrible in the summer with Thunderstorms……

    30 mins reserve doesn't seem a lot for a remote island landing .... I'd have my swimming lessons up to date !!!

    JM you don’t want to swim off shore in that place…They have been dragging dead cows a mile off shore for a 100 years so they don’t contaminate the ground water..It’s got a huge population of Tiger Sharks with no manners whatsoever….

    I hate tiger sharks, they bump you before they eat you .... they want to know how hard they need to bite ..... had one chew on the prop of an outboard I was fishing off of on the GC . Evil bastards

    Two days in a row to Melbourne to pick up a baby and bring back to Adelaide.
    And, amazingly, two days in a row of good weather!

    What’s going on?!
