Brian Abraham not only did I not work for him but I took our company aircraft leased to his org, outa there fast as.
I knew the jig was up when a cuppla crew members wandered into my office in Essendon for a coffee and told me they were on their way to doing some practice Alice Springs approaches in one of our C208s.
I assumed they were using Cowes and Wonthaggi as we all did, but no, they were off to the Alice for a cuppla days.
Nothing like the real thing and why they loved Freddy.
I had already been down there a cuppla times and it was Boys Own Annual stuff on steroids.
