responsible for kicking off the aviation careers ...
For example, four off a NSW flying scholarship course of around 10 in the mid-60s -
(a) A - last I heard a 744 captain at QF
(b) B - eventually ended up in a religious calling and joined the RAAF as a chaplain - now semi-retired after ending up as a principal chaplain
(c) C - studied aero eng on the same course as I did and initially ended up in GA corporate.
(d) me - pilot and aero eng - and I freely acknowledge having had a ball over the years in both roles
Some of the others, no doubt, went on with aviation although I have long since lost contact with them.
