Vale Gary Staff - Another ex Flight Engineer gone

It is with regret that I notify ex Ansett Flight Engineer and later First Officer Gary Staff has passed away. Gary later went on to become a 737 Captain before retiring from aviation. Gary wrote several books about the German Navy and had a wealth of aviation and German navy knowledge.
I did my first night / IFR rating, :O while standing in the back of a truck in the darkness, while holding all the household furnishings and stopping them from falling over - while Gary was driving - while moving house. Gary thought this was hilarious. Always having a laugh and a tremendous bloke. Gary was 63 and will be greatly missed.

How sad, too soon! I flew with him on the 737, great bloke!

Funeral will be held at Tobin Brothers in North Melbourne at 10.00am on the 3rd August.
Safe travels Garrington, lumox, ington, Gaz, Stafy.

Staffy....one of the good guys. I worked with Staff Man in a couple of airlines, and enjoyed his company.

One of the good guys.So sad to hear that he passed.
