Where are they now? Episode 2

[Binoculars]

I think part of the reason for the success of the thread has been its simplicity. You ask, hopefully somebody tells you what you want to know. It hasn't been sidetracked, in other words, and I'm sure it will remain successful if we keep it that way.

Keep up the good work, people. I'll try to figure out a way at some stage where the unanswered queries from Part 1 can be transferred over here.

[Binoculars]

OK, went back through the last few pages. Seems to be a pretty high success rate. The unanswered recent queries are repeated below. I didn't go right back to the beginning, so if you posted a query early and didn't get an answer feel free to post it again here.


Frank Munis... Helicopter engineer from Mt Isa 70's and 80's. Query by FL450, Page 8.

Mark Shaw .. query by Mr Hat, Page 8

John Moss query by Justapplhere, Page 9

Rhena Moore (maiden name) ex-RACWA early 90's. Query by Grivation, Page 9

Paul Millar ... ex Bendigo Aviation and ex-An B737 F/O. Query by Airstairs, Page 9

[mjbow2]

thanks for the input RE Bruce Clentsmith.

there is some confusion however, regarding his status with AFAP.

someone may wish to see a copy of the 'list'
He seems to be on it. perhaps the author of this list may wish to correct it if its wrong? I will be happy to email the author if someone can confirm his status......

anyway....can anyone else confirm he is at Air Pacific?

By all means correct the "list" if it is incorrect, but "it" nor the "url" may not be published here. W

[Open Wemac]

Frank Munis is still in Isa, but these days just as the Safety Officer at the field. Can often be spotted removing unwanted birdlife from the area when the NJ 146 arrives.

[Waste Gate]

Capt. Greg Martin. Was an Ansett 737 Capt. in the early 90s, believe he was flying the Airbus when Ansett fell over in 2001.

Did a couple of jumpseat sectors with him. His encouragement and generosity helped fulfil my career ambitions.

Pinky Scott Lemon was/is on a King Air in Brisbane somewhere, not sure who with.

[Binoculars]

OK, time to bring my precious topic back to the top. Hopefully the '89ers who attempted to hijack it last time have withdrawn into their holes again. :rolleyes:

I'll try once again for Brad Paine, ex Weipa. Used to have a girlfriend called Dale Forgetthesurname who also flew for the mighty Weipa Aerial Service. Surely he must still be in aviation somewhere?

Is he still with Skywest?


Cheers

Servo :p

[the wizard of auz]

I saw shaune about nine or so months ago in a night club and we had a bit of a yarn. At the time he was with skywest and was pretty happy about it and wasnt looking at moving on in the near future.

[Flight Detent]

Hi N2000,
At least three of the Australian A/lines B727 Fes, the ones that were 'contract' FEs, went to Kuwait Airways to operate their B727-269-17R aircraft, one left after a short time, and the other two went on to convert to the B747-269B, of which they had three, at the time!
All this started in early June 1992.

Cheers

[Mr. Hat]

MARK SHAW ? Does anybody know where this chap is? He wasn't well last time I saw him. Am hoping he's ok and made a full recovery. A real nice bloke and a go getter. Let me know:ok:

I still have the thermos he left in my landcruizer at Woorlba station...... a couple of days before he got the Cathay interview. Bloody good thermos, has served me well.
Cosmo Richards any one heard from coz since Ansett fell over?. would like to catch up with him too. Was my com instructor back in the old days.

[cabin secure]

[MinimaNoContact]

[tsnake]

Going through my first log book I was reminded of some gents with whom I flew at RVAC in the early 80s.

So who can tell me where Nigel Scott, Michael Turner and Guy Bourke are. I know Mike and Nigel went to TN and then elsewhere post-89 , rumours Nigel entered up at Swissair, and Guy was tooling about with Ted Rudge in his Doves.

And can someone confirm or deny that Shamus "Shambles" Campbell and Paul "Punchy" Blackshaw are with QF. Two very dangerous men around a beer.

[amos2]

...Nan Witcomb!...Jeez, how old are you McG?

She still lives in Adelaide...if she's still alive!

[chimbu warrior]

Guy Bourke is a 767 Capt with Australian in Cairns.....when not floating around the country in a Mustang or some other beautiful machinery. Half his luck!

[FarQ2]

Female colleague of mine would like to know where Debbie Wardley is? I last heard of her in KLM Citihopper.

[Disco Stu]

FarQ2

Deb is still with KLM CityHopper. Flight Safety Manager if my memory serves me right.

[RaTa]

tsnake......They are both Captains with QF, Seamus on the 747 and Paul on the 767.

[CurtissJenny]

Anyone know what happened to Graeme Bird, worked with Wilderness Air in Tasmania then reported to have gone back to Qld.

Any update ?

[Updraft]

Curtiss,
Sadly, Graeme passed away almost 18 months ago.

[Binoculars]

Way off track here, and pandering to the lowest common denominator :E but I can't help wondering if the six TAA hosties who featured prominently in Billy Thorpe's (second?) book in an incident in Lennons in Brisbane are still known to the flying populace, or are they another figment of Billy's fertile imagination?

[tsnake]

chimbu warrior, ra ta
Many thanks

Bins,
No figment of Thorpie's imagination I was assured in a past life. And a gentlemen should not tell tales. But then was Mr Thorpe a gentleman?

[Binoculars]

If he was, he was a bloody lucky gentleman by the sounds of it.... :{

[Knulp]

:}
Fortunately unlike Thorpey, I'm a gentleman so cannot pass on similar tales from the TAA lodge in Lae back in the olden days.:rolleyes:

[Crash & Burn]

Looking for Ed Liu - last heard of around Sydney about 5 years ago.

[steamchicken]

Desert Flower, thanks. Met him when I was a pommy jackeroo, but at the time building a roof for Danny Webb Smith on Beefwood stn, WA. He was a good bloke.

[Australia2]

Jody Rollings anyone ?

Was flying night freight for Westerns in C210's at one stage (should have been decorated back then !!!)

[Flight Detent]

Hi all,
Just wondering where a one time mate of mine is these days, his name is Geoff Fardon, ex-RAAF P3 FE, joined AN to fly their L-188s as an FE, then converted to pilot, that's when I lost contact with him, back in the mid 1990s.
He was living in Sunbury then, but has since moved on.

Cheers

[permFO]

Last time I saw Jody Rollings he was with Kendell in Adelaide and that would have been late 90's. At a guess he is with Rex somewhere.

[Chieftain]

In reply to the Alf Noutzo quetion... Last I heard of him was at least 12 months ago at MB airport. Apparently was the pilot of a PA44 that had a DOUBLE engine failure and ended up in the Crown Casino Golf Course.:\

[clear to land]

Anyone run into Owen Murphy? Learned to fly in Dubbo and Orange around 89/90. Was a Sydneysider then, and fir sprinkler fitter by trade. Also Danny O'Sulliven, instructing at KSA DU same time. Maybe gone back to Ireland??

[Colonel Klink]

[James Bigglesworth]

Bloody good thread. Thanks Bino if you're the man that kicked it off - you've promted my first post as a ppruner I've Been trying to track down a bloke called Brett Carter for some years, and hopefully ppruner's might be able to assist.

Brett is formerly of :

DAC and ExecAir in Darwin, then did some coastwatching (skywest ?!) out of Broome. I heard a viscous rumour he made it to Cathay...

anybody ?

[permFO]

Danny O'Sullivan is now with Emirites. Was an AN 737 F/O until September 2001.

[Wright Brother]

Ok, what about this bloke...

Anyone seen Capt. Eric Van Hennekler ?

He was last seen at a closure rate of 300 knots as he whisked past my window. We were both in Solomon Airlines Twin Otters [Circa 1995], but where is he now?

Cheers,
Wright Brother.

[Dan Kelly]

Wilbur, or is it Orville,

Was Eric also known as Eric the Viking? If so, in about '99 he was in Darwin, flying a westwind I think, for Pelair, then moved to one of the Ansett affiliates - KD I think.

[dodgybrothers]

Mr Bigglesworth,

You will find Mr Carter in Honkers with CX. The further away he is the healthier my liver.

Dodgy

[James Bigglesworth]

Dodgy,

Thanks very much for the info ! Any chance of email address and or phone number ?

Liver concerns recieved and understood !!.....

Biggles

[redsnail]
