Episode 746: Vale Max Hazelton, an Australian aviation pioneer

There's lots to talk about this week (no surprise given it's been two weeks since the last Geeks episode) so we're going to try to compress it into less than 10 minutes. Do you think we can do it this time without reverting to compression techniques or gagging Grant? Well, listen and find out :)Aviation pioneer Max Hazelton has sadly passed away shortly before his 96th birthday after quite the career. Max was the founder of Hazelton Airlines which became a subsidiary of Ansett Airlines and then merged with Kendell Airlines to become Regional Express (aka REX) after Ansett went under in September 2001.Speaking of REX, they've taken a financial stake in a local electric propulsion company.Meanwhile, Qantas' bid to take over Alliance Airlines is blocked by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) and Qantas are not happy about it.Finally, a former RAF Museum P-51 Mustang arrives at the Hunter Fighter Collection in Scone where it was reassembled to static display in just three days.Whew! Done in under 10 minutes with no sneaky shenanigans. Who knew? :)
