  I feel so humbled and inspired by these early pilots especially the fortitude of the women in those times.

  HMM.. What's Vita-Lick Ltd.?
  
  "Vitalick was the original livestock supplement in Australia and has been assisting in livestock nutrition since the 1920." according to the current (2009) supplier, Rational Nutrition Pty. Ltd.
