Only ever met Tub very briefly on one occasion when paying a visit to Caloundra to catch up with my ex house sitter Barry Costa. Tub is a legend in the industry, I doubt there is a helo guy/gal who has not heard of the man. In fact I gather he has probably trained the majority. I'm betting he can look back on a career dedicated to instructing with a great deal of satisfaction, in seeing where his students have carved their own niche in rewarding careers.
Congratulations Tub, enjoy your retirement.
