The theme used here was: "A Shade Of Brass", originally recorded by Bobby Byrne. His original slightly 'electronic sound' version was also used on ABC IDs from this period. The version here is a more orchestral version, I would suggest re-recorded for the promo by the ABC Orchestra of the time. I would love to see the original version! Great posting FD!
Ah the good old days, when a pilot carried a hip flask of whisky and quite possibly received some benefits from an airhostess in the cock pit!

He looks like an old RAAF type! Probably a WW2 vet
