Many thanks to your post
Hello,
I’m not sure if we have ever met before but I stumbled across your post through Google. It’s been about 5 years since my father’s passing but it still feels like yesterday.
I don’t have much family left and I just decided to Google the name Fuller, then I tried Noel Fuller. Then this forum came up with a post called “Noel Fuller “under your name.
I first want to deeply thank you for your post that you placed on this forum. I know it was passed on to you by someone ells, Nick Leonard?
I’m not sure if you ever met my father. It makes little to no difference to me but I want you to know that it means a lot to me, my brother Brett and my sister Sharon that you made an effort. That Nick made an effort.
These were very kind words said about my father and it gives me inspiration, that one day I could be seen by my peers to be considered as a “Natures Gentleman”.
My Father told me flying is one of the most addictive things in the world. Once you get the bug you won’t ever want to stop.
Stories of flying in the tropics for PNG airlines at medium altitude, too the low level and very risky crop dusting in which he lost a few friends. He also used to talk about the survey flying for companies such as Fugro and World Geoscience. They ranged from when he was caught up in Tehran in the middle of the 1979 revolution. How he and his colleges had to sneak themselves and a plane out of the country undetected. To the extremes of low level grid survey flying over the hot sweeping plains of Africa and too the ruff cold seas off coast of Falkland Islands. One off my favorites had to be the crop dusting at night using a guy with a torch on top a hill for directions and so he wouldn't plough into the ground. Yes he had a lot of stories…
It’s been 5 years and I had no idea there were people on the net speaking about my father. If I had of know I would have thanked you and Nick a lot sooner.
Many thanks.
David Noel Fuller
