Between rock and a high place

An interview with David Lowy

Hard rocker, Spitfire pilot, aerobatic champion, aviation museum benefactor, businessman and philanthropist, David Lowy is a pilot with a difference. Part of the entrepreneurial Lowy family – his father Frank founded the Westfield Group – he has led a life less ordinary.

A successful business career sees Lowy in charge of the Lowy Family Group, the family’s private investment company. But he is also a former Australian aerobatic champion and Spitfire display pilot, the founder and primary benefactor of the much-loved Temora Aviation Museum (which in mid-October hosted its semi-regular Warbirds Downunder Airshow), flies his own Gulfstream G550 business jet, and is the founder and a guitarist in the heavy rock band The Dead Daisies.
