I found this site a few days ago while searching for any info about the RAC NSW (Bankstown)
I learned to fly around 1963 in a Victa Airtourer 115. VH-RSJ was my solo airplane, but I flew others as well. However, I never got past my solo endorsement. I was very surprised that the Bankstown operation appears to have folded, and was trying to find details.
Unlike some other posters, I don't remember names etc. I lost my logbook and box of flight time receipts when I left Australia in 1967.
I did chat with another guy who went through the air cadet pilot scholarship program there, but that's a long time ago.
Now, I mostly fly model planes.
