No Clive Wilson no longer provides any service at Lord Howe Island. I will quote from the front page of The Australian newspaper, June 13, 2015.

“Then, last year, CASA would not renew what is known as his CAR 120 licence, which allowed him to provide detailed weather observations to pilots in a more proactive fashion, unless he took at $20,000 meteorological training course.”

A little later it says:

“Of aviation authorities’ efforts to smother Mr Wilson, Air Vice Marshal Evans said: “It is a great safety enhancement that isn’t part of the official safety environment so the bureaucracy tries to kill it.” An Airservices spokesman said Sir Angus was not available to comment.”
