RIP Rob Bartlett
RIP Rob Bartlett, Yorkeys Knob, Cairns.
Rob passed away peacefully on Friday after suffering from throat cancer.
"Watch your airspeed", mate!

Oh! How sad.
I used to work for Rob on the Gold Coast. Last I knew (quite a few years ago), he was living in the Gold Coast again after working elsewhere for a while. Didn't know he'd moved north.
Rob gave me my aerobatic instructor endorsement, even though he knew I was leaving the company (for my 1st CFI position so a career progression move rather than bad feelings).
I've often wondered what he'd been up to since our last contact, so long ago.

Rob was not a proud man. He had been there done that and had absolutely nothing to prove. He was quick to praise others who didn't have 10% of his experience or knowledge. A great loss to the industry. RIP Rob!!!

Clear sky's mate.
Rob was my instructor for my IR. He was working at Barrier in Cairns.
Ran into him a couple of months ago at the shops and he told me he had cancer. Stiff upper lip.
"Watch your airspeed, that **** will kill ya"
Lots of knowledge and was always happy to pass it on.
I think he used to fly twotters out near Fiji as well.
One of the good guys. RIP.
