Barry Forster
says:What a great man, thankyou David for all you do
Ron Dempsey
says:Highly recommend a visit to the aviation museum in Temora and if possible a visit to one of their air shows. Their Warbirds air show last year was spectacular and the best air show i have ever seen. I was with ex commercial pilots who flew their aircraft from Brisbane to stay with me in Leeton and we flew to Temora for the day. I knew Bobby Gibbs when I was working with Talair in PNG and had many a great night with him and Dennis Buchanan the owner and founder of Talair. Chat regularly to his daughter Julie.

Evan
says:It’s interesting article, thanks! I think we should remember about those war days and flying war machines remind us about it.The longer they will fly the better. Especially thanks to those enthusiasts who keep old planes and allow them to fly…
Erik
says:Hi was Noel Kruse not the owner of Sydney Aerobatic School.?
Ian Kerr
says:Yes. Noel was a Sabre pilot in the RAAF and flew Caribou aircraft as well. Some difference but same application to aviation in general.
But he was a dedicated aviation enthusiast and started/continued Sydney Aerobatic School from Bankstown to continue his approach to Flying Training which was removed from CASA recommended approach to Civilian Flying Training. Had some wonderful Instructors during his tenure.
