In later years he flew for TAA in their Air Ambulance Division in Queensland. RIP Roy - those of us who flew and worked with you, will miss your wonderful good humour and dry wit
I first met Roy when he was a ground instructor at Cessnock in '67. Our paths crossed about ten years later when he was with "DCA" in the "Vic Tas" region.
A quiet man, who who never said much about his flying past.
All the best Roy!
