Just been advised that good friend and well known YMMB identity Bill Bennett passed away at the weekend aged 84.

Bill was one of the most likeable and honest people ever. I had the pleasure of doing some aircraft deals with Bill in the Schutt days, just prior to the Ted Sent era.
Rest peacefully Bill.
