   | Figure 8 Gerry O'Mahony following the return to Perth in November 1948 of the Lancastrian aircraft in which he flew as meteorological liaison officer. The aircraft made a proving flight for the PerthCocos IsMauritiusJohannesburg air route across the Indian Ocean. Gerry made many significant contributions to the Bureau in his 30 years of service, especially in Statistics, Hydrometeorology and Electronic Data Processing. He coordinated the acquisition by the Bureau of one of the nation's largest computers in the 1960s and supervised its operation after its installation in 1968.
