Rob Collins leaves CASA for fresh challenges
Rob Collins - group general manager General Aviation - is leaving CASA next month to pursue a private business opportunity. Rob, who has worked for CASA and its predecessors for almost 16 years, will own and manage a fuel supply and retail business on the Warrego Highway, near Ipswich.
Chief executive officer, Bruce Bryon, said today Rob's decision to leave CASA is sad but completely understandable. Bruce said: "Rob has served CASA in a variety of roles over the years with great distinction. In recent times he has played a key role in reforming the way CASA operates and we will all miss his wide range of skills and his thoughtful contributions. But the lure of running his own business, as well as making a lifestyle change, has obviously been too strong and I wish him and his wife every success in their new venture."
Chief operating officer, Bruce Gemmell, said today Rob's departure will be a loss to both CASA and the aviation industry. Bruce said: "Rob has a huge range of contacts throughout the aviation industry and is very well respected by everyone. This network, as well as his years of experience in aviation, have helped CASA and the aviation industry to understand and successfully meet many safety challenges, particularly in the general aviation sector. While the aviation industry will rue his loss, the local community served by his business will be gaining a talented and friendly business leader."
Rob Collins said today moving out of the aviation industry into a completely different type of business environment was both scary and exciting. Rob said: "This was simply the case of an opportunity arising that was too good to refuse. It is a business with a multi million dollar turnover, with all the challenges that go with that, and my wife and I just want to have a go. I'm leaving CASA with many great memories and I'm proud of the contribution I've made to the organisation's development and progress. I have many friends in CASA and aviation in general and I thank all of them for making my job enjoyable and fruitful over the years."

Prior to that and since he left Fort Fumble he has not been a 'welcome patron' back in through Fort Fumbles front doors. It is rumoured he tipped a bucket of poo poo on them and became suddenly unpopular. Also the Screaming Skull will not allow him anywhere near the place. "Hell hath no fury like a scorned Screaming Skull".
does Collins replace John Bromley????

And more importantly, for my friend Kharon, now that Collins is in to publishing books, will he write a book on voodoo economics, witchdoctory or some other non-essential ritualistic intellectually non-stimulating pony poo?

Chapter 1.
Are you sitting comfortably, then I'll begin.
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away there was a wonderful system of managing the fun enjoyed by all, funded by the caring, conscientious, all seeing , Benevolent Dictatorship (BD) which protected the mysterious, but fantastic island paradise.
The poor, but honest, happy peasants had found a great sport (aviation content approaching), flight, powered by magic and belief, provided a method for crossing the vast distances between parties, country pubs, bar-b-ques and B&S balls; 'tis rumoured the odd wild spirit even found their way into the odd Nurses home. (Even in paradise, miscreants).
As always, in paradise there must be an evil element (no story otherwise). The Grand Vizier (GV) craved power, hated parties and the like, decided the best way to achieve his dark ends was find those without enough magical power to take wing; and, through devious, dark means brought them together in a dank, dark rat infested fort. Here with lobotomy, castration and other foul calumnies, he wove the fell magic of the Safety Spell.
The GV designed, developed and evolved several varieties of creature, which were all for one purpose, to pave his road to the dark, unhappy world he so craved. Once the dark work was completed, he persuaded the BD that all this 'flyin' about stuff could hurt his dearest, happiest subjects. So, reluctantly the BD allowed a limited amount of 'Island Specialists' (IS) to make sure that no one got too badly banged up. (Being a kind, soft hearted type).
This one action allowed Safety Mumbo Jumbo experts, legal Voodoo wizards, policy Hoodoo specialists; and, the dreaded Double bubble in toil and trouble from the three witches of iniquity. This led to Fairy stories from legal eagles; mumbo speak from the jumbo specialists and free madness assessments from the master of smoke and mirrors. The worst being the “Your delusional – off to the dungeon with him”. Of course, the recipient of this dire pronouncement could not argue; no, twas the dungeon or the desert.
At first, the happy peasants accepted the IS advice and all was well, for while. Then a mysterious sickness came over the jovial, tolerant BD.
Suddenly - darkness was loose on that wonderful, mysterious island, far far away.
Advert break and station promo.

Watch the Chook!
Frank with all respects this one is more appropriate........especially given the time of year
The Chicken!
The Chicken!
Setting up on the highway near Ipswich. Not mates with McFarlane by any chance, who hoodwinked local council into believe he'd be setting up an RPT airfield for the Darling Downs? A long shot, I don't know either, but a business on the airfield by any chance???

Conspiracy?
I know this a rumour network but seriously, somebody did something shonky related to Ipswich so they could possibly be related. F.F.S!
That's a bit like saying that because we buy oil of the Arabs and Osama Bin Laden was an Arab we are funding terrorism?

ahhh . . . Kharon, you old curmudgeon . .. . . a rare tale you surely spin . . .
and you roll them in the aisles . .. as you rolled them once before. .. . you roll them . .. . .
. .. . as you roll the stuff you fancy in those Tallies . .. the ones that have appended .. . . that motto to 'make it a rule'.

An odure to Fantome
Fantome you grizzled ancient pelican, gone are the days when breakfast was piss and a look around, home made hamburgers and milk shakes in aluminium pots, cold and frothy, were a feast for a King, when it was considered 'cool' to be able to roll a smoke one handed on a rough 'orse.
Filthy smokes are a thing of the past (sigh)
reckon it makes the beer taste funny now though, perhaps it's the straw, or the false teeth. Anyway, are there no cows in need of your tender attentions ? (the picture is milk maids, all in a row). 
Caveat to the Mods - If that mob can have chooks, wot is a flightless, therefore non aviation related post, what harm can a few milk maids for an old mate do. They're a bloody site harder to catch than Chooks of the headles, flightless variety.
Happy Easter mate (s).

. . . and a happy one to all ditto .. . . . . despite no belief at all . . . now. . . . at the going down of the sun . . or in the morning
. .. . . and to be somewhat obscure ( and far from the any fish shop tainted Ipswich allusions . .. let alone multi-hatted rapacious profiteers with 'good' connections) . . .
. .. . . the memory of mammaries (mooooo...) . . . . . of brilliiant 'Headlights' . . . . and the mirth arising from Kharon's first utterance thereof . . . . of such prominences . . . . . . lives on. (not quite Spike's 'pneumatic bliss' though)
(Thinks - now how DO the Greeks say 'Christ has risen'?)
sorry too much messrs mods . . . indulge 'an old pelican'.
