I was fortunate enough to be taught, as an abinitio through to PPL, by my father who was a Squadron Leader during WW2 with the RAAF and great all round aviator and in particular flying instructor. For those who knew of the great Spitfire pilot Keith "Bluey" Truscott- my father sent him 1st solo.
Although my aviation career has continued as an ATC for near 40 years, I proudly also hold my CPL. I'm grateful that I was taught great "stick and rudder" skills in a DHC-1 chipmunk, and had instilled in me about "old pilots and bold pilots." Still love every minute of being associated with aviation and the people who share my passion
