The Conquest is leased out to an operator in WA.
If John has retired perhaps he can write a few more articles for Australian Flying. Wouldn't me to many men left in the GA business with his experience or exposure from instructing at ppl level thru to IFR and multi-engine, taking the bush-walkers into the south west, IFR charter, photographing the Sydney-Hobart yachts etc.
Last time I was talking he was flying the Conquest, but the next day he was off to Cox's Bight in the trusty old VH-TSR with a load of bush-walkers.
