Back to the diary..... yes, my error, Stan passed away on 12 sep 2000. I went to the funeral in Burwood and had to travel to get there. I just had the wrong home in mind as I thought it was prior to going north, not after. I did my Instrument rating with Stan in at Execs in 73 and a few renewals with Stan after that. Lots of good flying in the Shrikes, Searchmaster and the good old Cat.
