I met Paul in Rocky in 1974 ,he was then working for a REG 203 operation flying Cessna 402s, Nation Air if my memory is correct, servicing Emerald, Blackwater and other destinations, the two other pilots were Kerry Lovegrove & Darryl Mayfield, after this folded up Paul flew a C421 for someone for a short time as well as casual charter work, I was in Countryair then and did a trip in an Aztec to various stops in Western QLD for BHP, as their company rule was to travel in only aircraft crewed by two pilots, I had the pleasure of Paul occupying the RHS for a few days.
I contacted June shortly after Paul's passing, as he was in Victoria and all the Covid drama was going on, it denied the chance for his family to see him at the end, a true Gentleman and an iconic aviation character.......fair skies Paul and smooth landings.
