George Rickey & Ray Smythe
Any word about on either's whereabouts? Heard recently from Ron Roberts (ex QF 747 skipper who started on the Cats) that George blotted his copy book seriously on a 707 command check at Avalon with checkie Eric ? in right seat when George lent across on downwind and said 'Dangle the Dunlops daddio.' In addition to that I recall George recounting during his brief time at Maslings '67 or '68 that he'd made a few unwise remarks to his check captain at turn in time in the pub at Geelong, probably that same day. Ray came from Kempsey and was based at Goulburn with Maslings on their Reg 203 services with C402 same era. (Also had a nasty run in with the management)
