RIP Jim Sinclair

It saddens me to advise Jim Sinclair passed away at mid night last night, 8 October 2017 at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Jim suffered from influenza compounded by pneumonia and other issues.

Jim wrote many books predominantly about aviation in PNG, including "Wings of Gold", the "Balus" trilogy, "Sepik Pilot" etc.

Jim went to PNG as a Cadet Patrol Officer in the early 1950s and rose to his final posting as District Commissioner, Eastern Highlands District in the early 1970s.

Jim is survived by wife Jan.
