Guy I worked with, Bob Stevens, wrote the biography of Ben, "Buckley's Chance". Wonderful story of how Ben was is front of the beak for low flying, under a bridge on the Princes Highway. Bens defence was the stanchions of the bridge were X feet apart, where as the aircrafts wing span was X+Y feet. Ergo aircraft wouldn't fit. Case dismissed. What wasn't said was that he had side slipped through.

Sorry for thread drift.
