It is with great sadness I advise Sir Bob Norman passed away peacefully at 5.45 am this morning.
Bob was the last of the true pioneers of bush aviation. A Second World War RAAF bomber pilot, in the early 1950's Bob founded Bush Pilots Airways, later Air Queensland. In later life, Bob had a long association with James Cook University.
A gentleman, true pioneer of bush aviation and a great bloke whom I am very proud to have known.
The funeral will be held shortly after Easter.
