The results were so successful that funds were made available to RASvy for operation of light aircraft for survey purposes in the financial year 1958/59. For a number of years the US and Canadian Armies had made significant use of helicopters for survey purposes, this is the Australian experience. RASvy extensively used light aircraft for survey operations following this experience. MAJ LB Sprenger was later promoted and as LtCol LB Sprenger MBE he was the Commanding Officer of the Army Survey Regiment, Bendigo in 1969/70 and passed away during that appointment.A 23 x Foolscap page report of typed text, held together by staples and an ARNOS fastenerroyal australian survey corps, rasvy, fortuna, army survey regiment, army svy regt, asr -
