Ken Andrews. Bankstown instructor now age 98 and still OK

Many will remember Ken Andrews who was a flying instructor at Bankstown for many years. He still lives in Sydney and I talked to him today. Ken was a popular instructor at Bankstown. He was ex RAAF on Mustangs and Vampires in the middle 1950's with the rank of Squadron Leader at RAAF Central Flying School East Sale when I did my instructors course there in July 1955.
In fact my log book shows I was his co-pilot on his first command trip at East Sale in Lincoln A73-18 on 3 August 1955.
For those in Pprune who knew him at Bankstown I am happy to say he is still in the land of the living in Sydney, and has all his marbles and is now 98 years old. He sounded clear as a bell on the phone.
