Very sad indeed...last saw Col 5 years ago picking the Bo up from Scone...He gave me the guided tour of his toy shed.
To have lasted 50 years at Ag flying says all that needs to be said about a brilliant pair of hands and an enthusiastic and enquiring mind...he was the living embodiment of the term 'Aviator' and represented everything that is good and true in this industry.
Australian aviation is poorer today.
