An Aussie aviation icon has passed away. His contribution to aviation enriched all our lives.
This thread is to acknowledge Col's contribution to Australian aviation.
The issues of how and why are correctly the prerogative of the ATSB. Col would not have done what he did if he did not think it was technically possible and feasible.
Arm chair opinions of the hows and whys are not welcome.
RIP old mate. Blue skies with a big Merlin!
