Freddy's Business ventures

The Chinese Heritage Foundation say that:

"After the war, Fred was motivated to spearhead a local campaign to support
pro-Indonesian independence, for the plight of the Indonesians suppressed by the
rule of Dutch colonialism. He worked to co-ordinate the despatch of medical aid
to the Indonesians and on the return flight bring back quinine to treat Chinese
seamen who were sick with malaria. For this cause he needed funds and aircraft
to carry medicine and supplies. Fred formed a new business venture, Asia
Airlines Pty. Limited, which had a number of shareholders. Capital of some
₤10,000 was raised and three catalina ‘flying boats' were purchased"

This is pretty dam cool, and i think that i may be able to use the name of this business venture to get more info on Freddy's existence!!!!...oh lots of research to be done. This Company would have had to be registered with the Australian Authorities and there may be records of this...... ok need to think and revert to Lecture notes and my uni text book to find the best way round this one.

I know that the current corporate regulatory bodies only date back to the 80s.....? mmm many questions to be answered
