Angel Attention Float Plane Community

For anyone who knows Mike Breen (Cairns, Broome, Sydney, Fiji, Indonesia and NZ) Float Plane Pilot.
Mike is presently in hospital and was given 3 months to live thanks to the big C. If anyone would like to send an email, card or message to Mike please PM me and I will provide an address to facilitate this.

I am sure contact from former collegues would be greatly appreciated at this time.

Many Thanks.

Biggles.

I was GM of Turtle Airways Limited in Fiji and Mike Breen was my Chief Pilot In 2003 and I have been looking to catch up as has I believe the gf of his estranged son, Paula Jelaca in NZ
Its sad to hear that he was going through the big C in 2009 as I also was going through it in 2009. I survived I hope you have better news of Mike. and maybe his Fijian Indian family. If you can help catch me at

Thanks
Wayne King

Thank you both Allen and Ejector.

I have contacted Wayne and as a result have regained contact with a long lost nephew.

Any chance a Moderator could edit the above posts with the live email accounts. The bots probably already have them.

Done, Biggles

Thanx

Thanks people, I have had direct contact with Biggles and have all the details, Mike's son in NZ now also knows the fate of his dad after looking for him for years, even going on a TV show to find him. Sad that it was too late but he does have closure.

RIP Mike
