What a surprise .....
...to see Jack Ellis's name on the forum.
I learnt to fly with Jack at Tyabb (back when it was only a grass strip and a hut) and Mooroodu, back in the 60's.
I flew a couple of Austers, VH-FAE, BYJ out of Tyabb, and a Chippie VH-AST, out of Moorooduc.
He could sure be a cranky bugger from what I remember.
RIP Jack
