My Grandfather was Eric Greathead!
He flew for Fly Illawarra for a long time to the best of my knowledge.
Unfrotunatly when i was younger I took a lot of the things i was told about his time as a pilot by him (passed in 1993) and my Father Eric Greathead Jr (passed in 2010):sad
So it wasn't till afterwards going through old boxes and finding great pictures of the mustangs (Vh-BOY & VH-BOZ) and the Sea fury (VH-BOU) and thinking back to being told as a kid, that i realized just how incredible his life was and how highly i think of him for it.
My brother and i have been hooked on aircraft since the day we were born because of him and my grandfather on my mother side who was in the C47's during WWII.
Anything anybody can tell me about Him, old stories, pilots he trained ect or even photos if you have any would mean the absolute world to me and my brother.
I've spent the last 2 years on and off digging up old photos of then and finding the 3 old war birds. but still would love to hear anything!.
Please feel free to email me. i just signed up to reply this!
