HI Charlie

There is not only Perth, Scotland, and of course Perth, Australia, there is also
Perth, Canada.

So, as you have gathered, it is unlikely Malloch & Sons made it to Oz. If they
had, your plane may have been made with some of the local iron woods, along with
an early form of high speed steel. They would have cornered the world market as
a result of their invincibility, and this could have changed the course of
history. Instead, they did not venture away from the pubs of Scotland, and
continued working with woosie woods. Eventually the British Empire ground to a
halt.

Regards from Perth, Australia

Derek :)
