Lady Joan Ansett passed away peacefully yesterday, aged 80. :(
She met the then Reg Ansett when she was 16, and had gone to work at Ansett.
Sir Reginald Ansett died in 1991, aged72. :(
May they Rest In Peace.

Probably died of a broken heart.
RIP Lady Ansett.:(

You are correct, Sir Reginald died on 23 Dec 1981 aged 72.
I took part in a flyover of Melbourne after a memorial service on the 15th Feb 1982.
I wonder what the 3 daughters Janet, Jane and Jillian are doing.

That must have been one your most proudest flying moments B772.
The last I saw of his daughters was when one was being interviewed just after the collapse. She was in tears.:(
Condolences to all the family. :(
Yes, Sir Reginald passed away in 1981, although (sadly) I wouldn't think he has been resting in too much peace. :(
