Plovett: Re Bunge
"BUNGE" was living and working in Melbourne for the feds when he did his CPL and GR3 Instructors Rating at TVSA (about 1991 I think)- knocked the lot over in 9 months under the old 175 hour CPL .He was taken on fulltime 4 days after getting his Grade 3 and worked at TVSA for about 2 or 3 years. Went back up North and came back down to Bacchus Marsh and finished up leaving with a Grade 1 under his belt. Has been very sorely missed - I think he probably knocked up around 1800 odd hrs Instructing - was never going to hang around in the cold for very long. He had an operation on his back about 2 years ago - poor bugger couldn't even swing a paintbrush let alone fly, hoever, seems to be back up and around now, last saw him at Todd Vances wedding in Brisbane year before last. Heard he made a packet on real estate in Perth so he's probably living the high life in dear little old Adelaide now. If you catch up with him, pass on that there's a big party at BSS in March after the airshow.
