How I wish I'd actually got to meet Stan! Our interests were similar; we'd beaten the same paths too. I only knew of him through my contacts with Geoff Goodall; the latter's article on Kimberley wartime wrecks provides a great insight into Stan's activities. See

It seems that he was following my own fumbling footsteps from a few years earlier; this is by no means me big-noting as his research/exploration activities made mine look distinctly amateurish. For instance, I thought I'd located all the wreckage of Buffalo A51-13 on the marsh a few miles south of Derby - Geoff's article reveals that Stan found pieces that clearly I'd missed!
Vale Stan - we need more like you.
