Some exceprts from Peter's comments:
The above ultimately provides 2 x ILS, 2xVOR, 2 x VHF and the plane is consistently flown IFR.
Extras: 2 x Tip Tanks @ 30l each giving 5 hours endurance (without touching reserves) for the long hauls across the outback.
My extras: Wee bags

The interior design does not match the exterior so we call ORF a 'design Tardis'. However this suits us as I figure a conservative paint scheme will not attract unwanted attention when parked unattended at remote airstrips.
