Wedderburn has lost two of its stalwart aviators in just a few days.

I always looked in to see the Twin Pioneer (EVB) on Wedderburn Open Days because I have a few jumps logged out of it (long before Sy acquired an interest in it). Last time I saw it there were several bits removed for what appeared to be some pretty heavy maintenance.

I also fondly remember him flying the Beaver down to "Wings Over Illawarra" on a number of occasions. The deep throated growl of that Wasp Junior radial engine and the slow, stately, progress of the Beaver in flight contrasted with the power and speed of some of the more modern aircraft on display.

He will be missed by his many, many friends. RIP.
