He came perilously close to departing the earth in 1979, just south of the Bankstown circuit. A Polair Jetranger was joining the circuit from 2RN (southwest of the field, VFR joining point) and was about a mile from the field, when he heard Jack call that he was at 2RN inbound.
Polair reckons he is pretty safe, being 7 miles ahead of him, but a flash in his forward right quarter caused him to rack it over to the left, and see Jack pass over him at zot feet, having come in from the southEAST instead.
Passing under brakes, indeed...
