Many believe that there was more to the Tamworth fire than met the eye. The owner was indeed ex-CX and TAA. Left CX under a cloud. He was no fun to fly with, that much I can say. Affectionately referred to as the fruitfly or great Australian pest, he was an angry little man.

The consensus view is that it was an insurance job to pre-empt what the sniffer dogs might have found. I believe it had a lot of phantom hours in the north of Australia and beyond. One of his sons is the ex investment banker who put the fake bomb collar on that poor lass in Sydney a few years back. Troubled folk.
