                                     Goodall.    Port Augusta Air Services Pty Ltd, to whom it had been registered new during the prior
                                     month, later went on to become PAGAS Airlines.  Mike Madden saw it (below) a decade later at
                                     Moorabbin.     This Cherokee Six then had several other owners before crashing in mountainous
                                     terrain near Toowoomba, Qld on 1 September 1989.     The aircraft had been hired to fly from
                                     Archerfield to the races at Birdsville when it appears that water in the fuel lines had caused engine
                                     failure.
