I know Bill Vincent
This is a bit late for the thread but I just came across it today. I flew with Bill many times when I was a partner in a small bush mining operation in Tasmania. Like many people on the NW of the island (and the islands offshore) at the time we could hardly have survived without his kindness, help and loyalty. Many's the box of mutton birds he dropped off at our airstrip and many the newspapers he "posted" out of the Cessna window as he flew over our mine on his way to Interview River!
I had some very memorable flights with him but I'll keep the details to myself for the moment. I would dearly love to get hold of the book about him and I'd appreciate any leads in this respect.
I believe Bill (we always knew him as Billy) is now back living in Tasmania after some years spent in on the big island. I wish him a happy old age!
