Not A Bad Effort

ABC website has an interesting story on a gentleman by the name of Bill Ford, still working on and recovering wrecked aircraft at the age of 95.

Sorry I cannot post the link for some reason.

What a great effort. He would be an interesting guy to have a beer with. I have another 25 years to go to equal his record.

His name is Bill Pople - not Bill Ford.

Yes Bill Pople. I remember him as somewhat of a fiery character at the RACSA but always helpful. Love that old F100 and the trailers. They were a landmark in themselves!
