Possible connection
My wife's father, Nigel Hanel, flew for Basil Brown at Air Farm Tamworth and came from the RAAF. He must have been around about the same time as you. Did you come across him? He later flew for Col Paye as his Chief Pilot in Scone. He died in 1980. My wife would be interested in any history or possible photos you might have of the period. I was also a RAAF pilot from 1965-1985 and then kept flying in GA until 2011.
