Passenger arrivals at Inverell Airport, February 1965 / The Tribune

  • Highranger said:
    Many years ago I was talking to a fellow passenger on a flight in the US and who had visited Australia in the 60's and was delighted at the opportunity to ask me about a riddle which had bemused him since his trip so long ago. He had checked in to a regional airport and the airline staff member didn't allow him on the plane saying "Sorry Ockka the Fokker's chocka" which means to any Australian "Sorry Mate the plane is full" I wonder what happened to all those many Fokker Friendship aircraft servicing regional Australia.

    My late father Preston Walker was AWB District Officer for Moree 1959-62. That brings memories back. I was very young. In fact I still have some of those ports (suitcases) here with memorabilia in them from Dad. He was very big on getting aboriginal students to school to better themselves. It is good to see aboriginals going to school here in Moree back in 1965.
