Jock Garden was up at Civil with Peter Bini, John Sangunetti, Mal Latham, Peter Stone
Had the pleasure of a couple of long chats with Jock before he passed, many great stories from the 60s/70s Brookes aviation and then Civil Flying Services. Lots of tales of run ins with the DCA and various Moorabbin antics of the time. John Lindsay was our FOI for a number of years. Barry was with Civil as well both in MB and Perth before an overseas stint. BT has some nice old reel based films from the time, fire drops and cloud seeding and a few other little gems, I wonder where they have got to, if he still has em.

I like Jocks story about bringing the first Navajo P to Australia and almost writing it off en-route in a hail storm. Then all the stories about smuggling people for rides in the Mustang...
