We had our own rainmaking trials here at that time and rather later too.

We don’t do any rainmaking anymore tho.

We used a Fokker F27 from memory.

Ours was mostly over the SE corner of Australia where most of

I worked for the CSIRO, our main govt scientific research
organisation,  over one summer in the second half of the
60s camped out in an abandoned old house in the
Snowy Mountains, just me and one other person most
of the time, while I was still in uni.
