Charlie Foxtrot India,
I went to Australia last year, and the AWPA heard I was going, and wanted to meet up with me as I'm the BWPA newsletter editor. They were fantastic! They arranged a special meeting of everyone when I was in Sydney, and I met Nancy-Bird Walton and interviewed her for a UK flying magazine...probably the last interview she did before she died. I'd arranged some flying at Bankstown, which is horrendous by public transport from Sydney, so Nancy's PA offered to drive me out there. The weather was awful , so she hung about till we decided not to fly, then she took me to the museum there, and drove me back to Sydney. I had a great time and met some really interesting people - especially Nancy-Bird of course!
