Has anyone heard any news of Ken recently?

I believe he is still with us and believe he is still aware at 104. Info from someone who knows...

Ken did a number of instrument flight renewals for me. A total professional, a gentleman, and a terrific bloke to have a beer with.

I’m pretty sure Ken was the instructor in the Liberty that was involved in the fatal Bankstown mid-air in 2008.

Yes, The Liberty accident. A mid air.

And also the Norseman that he bailed out of off Sydney harbour. There is a long story on that one.

I had 5 minutes of silence from the RHS broken by an abrupt 'right, where are we now?'. Kept you on your toes!

Did Ken continue to fly after the 2008 Bankstown mid-air?
