Yep big fun honest guy.
Thought he was a story teller for a while but his amassin life was backed up. He told me about the 402 but thought it was a FUGRO 404
MISS him heaps

Might have been a 404, stupid Red Cross wouldn't help him so we bundled the poor guy into the Kingair and got him away from the taleban.

Good guy from what l can recall.

Cheers to Pat

Stayed in a commune with him, in Tsumeb, doing surveying for World Geocience. Lot's of good times!

A true gentleman.
RIP
