always thought Dr E was a helicopter pilot back in the early 1980s when he kept his Enstrom at his property west of Bankstown, and had a live-in young pilot 24/7? is it true he had 80hrs rotary-wing instruction before this first solo? not sure if DAMEs give the OK for one-eyed students these days? questions I guess I'll never get to ask him for he wouldn't remember me from back then, applying for a job. didn't get a wedding invitation either.
