August 1981: Men at Work, Mondo Rock, Reagan authorising the Neutron bomb, FT-7Bs and 101ZDs; and one of your mates missed a net because they were helping with the search for a light 'plane which crashed up past Newcastle - in the Barrington Tops, they think. The question is, who was that mate? Was it you? If you know, WICEN NSW would like of the operators involved in the original search for VH-MDX, the Cessna 210M "Turbo Centurion" which went missing in Barrington Tops, north of Port Stephens on Sunday, 9 August 1981. Please check your log for possible clues.
