Dear old Cec Randall ..... very fond memories .... when he left the airlines and got back into GA instruction ... I was his first solo in 20 odd years (at RACNSW) ......
Mind you ... his instructional techniques probably wouldn't rate highly in this modern PC world ... but he got me and a bunch of others on course up and off by ourselves in 4-6 hours ..... would love to get any info on his last few years ...
I can still recall, quite vividly, my first solo in the Victa .... without Cec's great bulk ..... was quite some years before I found out what the shuddering sensation was during the ill-considered first solo rapid rotation in front of the assembled troops ....
