Any information re WH Nick Carter
greatly appreciated
Hi Cloudcutter,
Nick Carter was my uncle. He meet me in 1970 when I was born.
He married my aunty Narelle. He had no children of his own.
My dad's idol and brother in law.
Mum just said today that he was 1st officer on the 1st Jumbo to land in Sydney.
I have some stories . Dad has thousands. WW2 to 1987, but he has passed. Mum's 85 and can remember them all.
The good, The bad & ugly.
We all still talk about him a lot.
Nick was on approach to Honolulu, when he left the intercom on and said to the other flight crew. Daggle those Dunlop's daddo.
One of many statements that he got reprimanded by Qantas management.
As a kid I loved his XU-1 Torana.
You need to talk to mum someday.
Andrew
