A book about Ben Buckley titled "Buckley's Chance". Ben could be described as a bit of a "larrakin" when it comes to flying. CASA have tried to bust him for years and have most probably have given up by now. I believe They actually filmed him getting into his Cessna and flying it with one leg in a full cast. He is also reputed to have flown a motorised hang glider from AU to NZ.

Benambra - History and People
Characters in the Benambra Shire (Eastern Victoria)
Small communities create more than their fair share of colourful, or at least memorable, characters. Some still live in Benambra and we can expect that more are still being born and raised today.
The first name that springs to many minds, when the topic of living Benambra characters is raised, is that of Ben Buckley. Ben, an agricultural and general pilot for many years, founder of the Benambra-based Alpine Aviation, has spent a lifetime doing the unconventional, and inevitably locking horns with those guardians of convention, the Dept of Civil Aviation and its successors.
Many of Ben's adventurous, dare-devil, courageous, and sometimes heroic exploits have recently been recorded in Bob Steven's biography of Ben, "Buckley's Chance".
