I was very sad to learn of Tony’s passing. My sincere condolences to Christine, Jim, Sam and their families for their loss.Tony was a great instructor and mentor who not only taught many pilots the mysteries of instrument flying at TKFS, but later as owner of a third-level airline and charter operation, gave many an aspiring pilot their first full-time job in the industry. Always one for a good anecdote from his wealth of experience both in Australia and the UK, he was entertaining, and readily imparted his knowledge to those who were prepared to learn. My few weeks at Waikerie all those years ago spent in the simulator and in the Seneca with Tony (and the clouds of cigarette smoke) were some of the most memorable of my flying career and gave me a thorough grounding for my subsequent flying.Vale ‘Tony’ Kingham
