Zoltan was a geophysicist who did a lot of aerial survey work sitting in the back operating the electronics. He and I were good mates in our teens, haunted the local airport and were the unofficial refuelers. Zoltan posted here on Pprune under a forgotten alias, instructed on gliders at Perth where he lived, owned an Auster, which reflected our hands on introduction to flying courtesy of a number of charter pilots employed by Broken Hill Air Taxi who used to take us on rides when they were able - Ross Tilly (Rossair), Bob Beattie, Geoff Wallace (killed New Guinea in a Piaggio), Warwick Goldsworthy . Zoltan formed his own geophysics company in Perth, employing some 25 people. Gained his instrument rating at Bankstown and I know he flew Chieftains. Passed away due stroke April 2022 as I just found out. Shame how we lose touch of folk.
Posted as I'm sure there will be many who knew Zoltan or worked with him.
