Vale: George Gilbert
Passed on - George Gilbert,
From today's 'West Australian',
"George Raymond Gilbert,
19.1.1922 - 22.5.2010.
Late of the RAAFA Estate Bull Creek, passed away after a short illness"......
Ex RAAF and of more 'recent' times,
VH-CPB, C340, Boomerang Air Services if I remember the title correctly.
'Nothing' seemed to 'phase' him.
One of Nature's True Gentlemen, and a nice bloke as well.
Met George many times and at several locations over the years.
Post inserted for those away from Perth who would like to know.....
R.I.P.

Nice bloke George. Always found him almost incomprehensible on the radio with his oxygen mask on. Then I met him and he sounded the same...
Goodbye George.
Goodbye George.
A true gentleman indeed.
