Brian passed away in Tasmania a few years
Tail Wheel, Brian was the fellow aviator mentioned in the last paragraph of my Misima story. He was based in Singapore and flying a Gruman Albatross for an oil company at that time. He probably had more hours on flying boats than he did on wheels...
His son Scott was a Hobie Cat sailer of some repute and had the agency for Hobie Craft for SEA.
