It was before my time with Eeenie Weenie Paul, but I got to know the skipper Frank quite well.

I believe it was the 1st acknowledged incidence of microburst worldwide.

Frank was totally and rightfully exhonorated and he did describe sliding towards a farmhouse with a very wide eyeded open mouthed lady standing at the sink standing motionless watching the approching F27.

I believe the hulk may still be at Bankstown for fire training but may be wrong.

Best all
