I think I first flew on TAA, from Brisbane to Sydney, then connected to a KLM flight to the Netherlands. Would have been about '83.

yeah me too. I specifically remember media covering the collapse of Ansett at the same time as 9/11, which seemed interesting that they thought the two were equivalent.

Ansett went on to exist as a training company for a while. Not sure if they still do.
