Trans-Australia
Airlines Electra Crew
by
Gil White
This
page is dedicated to the memory of Gil White. It was Gil who
compiled this listing and the companion listing of Ansett Electra
crew members (his father was a TAA Electra Captain). Gil's work
in this area of research also inspired the creation of similar
listings of Qantas Electra, Constellation and Boeing 707 crew
members. Gil passed away in Melbourne on 26 June 2006 after
a long illness, knowing that his work and this dedication would
be preserved in perpetuity.
