Last I heard, Sypho retired (from NJS 146 fleet) to the peace & quiet of Maleny,SE QLD.
Yes, I remember now. I think he still lives there.
Tail Wheel, Brian was the fellow aviator mentioned in the last paragraph of my Misima story.
Yes, Brian liked his amphibians but I suspect he probably had more land plane hours than amphib hours. I recall him spending ages trying to convince me we should be operating Shin Meiwa US-1A aircraft commercially in PNG. With five engines I suspect the Shin Meiwa amphib one of the few aircraft type where the bank account hits empty before the fuel gauges read empty!!!
