I worked for Eastern Australia at Newcastle Airport in the mid 80s...then a tin shed. Oh how its changed. i recall the 404 Titans being flown to Sydney and Sydney via Maitland. Also direct to Canberra. They flew a daily milkrun from Willy to Brisbane via Taree, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Lismore and Coolangatta.
Also to Tamworth And Armidale I think. I flew on them many times in the right hand seat with the cheap staff ticket. The Bandits flew Willy to Sydney.
Some of the regos for the titans I recall were ARQ DLF TMX TMZ UOP.
The 3 Bandit regos were HVS WDF and WDI. I used to do a 2 minute weather report from the airport on 2hd including the latest flying conditions of one of our planes. The good old days.
