It was sad to read your note about Martin.
We shared a liking for flying and from that i went on a couple of his flying ‘expeditions’. One in September 1976 across the Flinders Ranges to Copley, Ayer’s Rock and Alice Springs, Lake Eyre and back to Bankstown Airport
and another in June 1977 back to Ayer’s Rock, Darwin, across Arnhem Land to Burketown and then across to the coast to Coffs Harbour and back to Bankstown.
