Bit early, Ansett collapsed in September 2001 ;) Maybe 9 years since Ansett has fully gone (?) will look into the dates.

According to wikipedia they formally ceased operations on March 4, 2002.

They entered voluntary administration on September 12, 2001. The administrators announcing it was not viable to continue operations on the 14th of that month.

Thanks. KNew it was May or March '02 that Ansett MkII ended. Ansett as we knew it was September. A Sad end to the greatest airline Australia had.
