I did, it was a fitting farewell for such a lovely girl. All the airline heavies were there and the RAAF. Great to see so many girls from the AWPA and female airline crew both pilots and cabin crew, some in uniform. The RFDS were very visable, and there were ATC and Govt reps from CBR, the country people came to honor their hero, and the LAMES were well represented, the A380 brought the house down and there was tears and applause, she would have loved it, but would have been amazed,knowing Nancy, her family were struggling, as you would imagine, but must have been pleased. A fitting farewell for a great lady.
