I had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with Sir Jack about three years ago at a function in the central west of NSW. I was a LAME at BK in the early 1970s (when we were selling aeroplanes as fast as we could put them on the register!?) and was of course well aware of Brabham Aviation ('BA') but i recall that, so it seemed at the time, BA was there one day then gone the next; they always seemed to be doing a good trade both in the flying school (an international airline pilot relative of mine did much of her com' training there) as well as in the hangar.
When i asked the great man what ever happened with BA he said simply, 'There's no money in GA son(!)'.
Requiescat in Pace Sir Jack ...
