Gladstone aluminium refinery, Queensland, ca. 1967

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Queensland Alumina Limited (QAL) is one of the largest alumina refineries by alumina production capacity in the world,[1][2] located in Parsons Point, Gladstone, Queensland, Australia. The refinery was planned in 1964[3] and has been operating since 1967,[4] the refinery has the capacity to produce 3.95 million tonnes of alumina a year. In 1981 the output was at a quarterly basis over 600,000 tonnes per quarter.[5] At times of lower demand, operations have been altered.[6][7] Subsequent rises in demand have seen an expansion in output and employment.[8] QAL has been operated by a range of consortium partners of international aluminum producers over time. Comalco was brought into the consortium in 1969.[9] In 1982 it was owned by Comalco (30.3%), Kaiser Aluminum (28.3%), Alcan (21.4%), and Pechiney Ugine Kuhlmann (20%).[10] Since April 2005, it has been owned by Rio Tinto Alcan (80%) and Rusal (20%).[11] In September 2017 the QAL celebrated 50 years of operation.

  Another bit of aircraft nerding from me. The one on top is a Shorts S20. Below is an S21. Both aircraft were passed on to BOAC in 1940. The S20 was broken up at Rochester in 1941. The S21 was destroyed in an air raid at Poole during WWII.
