Expanding: SYD airport was administered by the Government’s FAC prior to FAC being abolished. SYD and a couple of the other 22 airports had not been privatised by that abolition date. AFAIK SYD then became administered by SAC(L ?) until privatisation was finalised. This body was a Government Trading Enterprise. After the privatisation, the SACL we know today took over.

So, Platy, your work with SYD must have been started after the demise of the FAC ? (and I didn’t fully cover the period after FAC and before SACL in my earlier comment).
