Interesting story about Jimmy Melrose. A young Australian aviator who was a national hero in the 1930s before his untimely death in a plane crash in 1936.
I feel embarrassed to admit I didn't know about him, despite the fact one the main roads leading to Melbourne Airport is named after him.
He would have turned 100 this week.
