Dick, I sent you an email via your profile - hopefully that works - if not please let me know how else I can get in touch with you.

Wheelies with Wings
 

Hi Dick,
That's great you considered Wheelies with Wings! We ARE operating and have a course planned in April 2017. I have sent you a PM.
Not sure who your office spoke to that would have said that!
Thanks again.

Thanks very much. I did think to send Dick a pm then saw Dick's response. so of course I have now sent a PM.
By the way everyone if you are interested in supporting one or more Wheelies with Wings Scholarships in the new year please consider this great program.

Little wings.. or a few scholarships.

Dick your generosity is beyond question and your actions help so many people. Thank you.
If you are still looking for areas to help then the charity Little Wings is a worthy cause. "Little Wings" is a NFP and flys sick children and their families from rural areas to Sydney and Newcastle for cancer treatment. Little Wings - Not for profit ongoing flight service children's charity
PS. You can always volunteer as a pilot with Little Wings too!

Dick, you are a great Aussie and a man amongst millions.

Some would say that is probably a good thing!! :} :} :}

All the best to you, Pip and the Terry Hills Team for Christmas and 2017.

Dick Smith and Kerry Stokes, Id take either one as the first President of Australia.

Dick thank you and Pip for your kind donation. We received a pleasant surprise in the mail this week and looking at the date on the cheque we can see you were busy signing donation cheques up until Christmas. These funds are going straight into our flights for transporting sick children in January and February.
Thank you again for your unconditional generosity.

Umm - nope!
