At an Indian restaurant on the north side of Brisbane a couple of nights ago and saw a copy of the local
Bayside and Northern Suburbs Star.
The photo on the front page looked familiar and caught my eye.
I scanned the newspaper but it is too large to publish in PPRuNe, however a copy is available
HERE.
Ron Cuskelly was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in the General Division in recognition of his service to aviation through roles with the Queensland Air Museum and the Aviation Historical Society of Australia.
Ron was one of the founding members of the Queensland Air Museum at Caloundra in 1974 and is currently the group's vice president.
Ron worked with Qantas Traffic as a load controller for 31 years.
Congratulations Ron. You certainly deserved that Award in recognition of your exceptional achievements in preserving our rich aviation history.
