                                  Country Air Services Pty Ltd had been incorporated back in 1958 by the McCamley family, prom-
                                  inant pastoralists in Central Queensland.   In 1961 the company was purchased by Don Millroy and
                                  expanded considerably.   A wide range of Piper types was used in its not inconsiderable fleet.  By
                                  the late 1960s when this Twin Comanche was acquired, Countryair was providing passenger and
                                  freight charter services out of their Rockhampton base to a wide area of Central Queensland. The
