Fred Ladd flew under the bridge on his last day with tourist air travel, 31/03/1967.
The court discharged him.
After TAT, he flew in Taupo and Rotorua(Capt Ladd's volcanic wonder flights'
Fredd retired to Taupo, and flew giders, when he was in his seventies.
He died some years ago, a gentleman to the end.
