Privileged to have known Keith from the AAC and FIA days.. absolute legend.. truly..
I believe the following anecdote is attributed to him..
During the night when approaching CTA, instead of the usual “ Melbourne Control, Romeo Tango Oscar…”
The words heard were “Knock knock..”..
ATC being short of amusement in the wee small hours responded with “Who’s there?”
The reply was “Arty”… followed by “Arty who?”
The answer came back “Arty Oh”…
The aircraft being an AAC PA31 VH-RTO…. True story…
RIP Keith.. Fair skies and Tailwinds…
