Recent visitors to the museum were Nick Davies and his wife, Janet from Adelaide, South Australia.
Nick advised that he was 27 years of age in 1963, when he commenced employment with Ansett in Adelaide, South Australia and that he departed in 1976, due to "night shift work and a young family".
Nick was a Fitter and Turner with a motor cycle company before joining 'Ansett' in Adelaide as a Fitter and Turner - Machinist. He advised that "outsiders could come in" and be qualified as an Engineer. Nick has fond memories of travelling to Melbourne, Victoria, for training at Essendon.
Nick advised that Ansett ran courses continually with many students from each state of Australia attending the various classes.
Nick commented that 'Ansett' was a very good company to work for, exceptionally good.
Nick and Janet (pictured) have been married for almost 60 years and Nick will celebrate his 90th birthday on Saturday 6 June 2026. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Nick.
