To all readers:
I am sad to relate that WALLY GIBSON a/c engineer extra-ordinary has passed away. Wally will be remembered simply and purely as a one-off Mr Fix-it. Even thousands of miles from Base and armed only with tool box and the contents of the aircraft hold, Wally was a magician at keeping aircraft flying. Wally's time with Ace Freighters (Constellations) and TMAC (DC-7's and CL44's) was legendary and without a doubt, the world is poorer at his passing.
Anyone wishing to attend his funeral, please do contact me at swingtail44@aol.com
Incidentally-numbers for our re-union have again increased with the registration of the following Tradewinds personnel: Adrian Slegg, John MacDonald and new member Dave Millington.
