Capt Notorius
 
Hi People
Some years ago there was a thread on the proon from one of us who went under the monicker of CAPT NOTORIUS . He was an Aussie who started out in the RAAF and after a less than encouraging relationship moved to PNG and ended up his days as an "ICE PILOT" in the far north of North America.

I remember spending a whole night reading his posts and as far as I remember the posts were repeated (or to be repeated) on the anniversary of his death caused by the big C.

If anybody, maybe the mods, remember these posts I would love to see and read them again. They were an absolute joy.

Cheers all

amazing stuff.
 
Yes. Yes indeed.

It is the nature of modern technology, but I find it...distressing that all those links to photographs no longer work.

Thanks Drop +, it was indeed The Duke I was thinking about.
I have just finished reading all of the thread again and whilst I remembered how his illness ended I still cried like a baby when I read it again.
One of the very good people.

cheers

Just read Duke’s thread. It leaves me almost speechless.

It is heartbreaking that so many stories died with him.
