I am fairly certain it is he. The photograph shows a person of slightly heavier stature than I remember at Jandakot in December 1985 where he did my conversion onto R22 VH-UXQ. Although facial features are very similar. Mr. Ronald A Shortis, helicopter license # 105657 (straight off my endorsement sign off). I again saw him as depicted at Caloundra Queensland with his red S62 and getting some work done on it there quite some years later....It'd be a bit of a bugger if his R22 sign off wasn't legit after I've now done about >10K hours in the blessed things....Not to mention plenty endorsements for others....
