Hi essiefred,
  You can try typing their name into the search box here
http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/SearchScreens/BasicSearch.aspx

  It has some english/scottish immigration/selection records to Australia up to the late sixties/early seventies - not sure of the limits -  I can see some flight arrival details for 1970's.

cheers,
  Ros

Hi

PA815 was I think the flight number of Pan Am flights from Los Angeles/San Francisco to Sydney. Could the KL actually be AKL? That is the code for Auckland Airport and flights from the United States often came via New Zealand. Could he have originally gone to New Zealand and then subsequently crossed to Australia?
