Bil told me that Frank J's health had been in decline following his second marriage. If I copied correctly, Frank all his life hitherto had enjoyed s beer and a smoke after knocking off for the day. After the new nuptials his nursing sister wife imposed some prohibition rules regarding drinking and smoking. This sudden change upset, allegedly, Frank's physiological tolerances to the extent that before long, unbeknown , abstinence took, so to speak, it's toll. (In other words, you may be poisoning yourself over time, but the body has acclimatised itself to the punishment . And the mind is often in these circumstances far more content or tranquil. . . . such as when puffing on a pipe. Beware suddenly going cold turkey.)

Carl J had a Tiger Moth that he force landed way out in the button grass or horizontal , The Tiger ended up inverted before he extricated himself and awaited rescue. The late Jack Koerbin had a low level aerial newspaper shot of the Tiger on her back. l
