Doug Williams spoke to our March meeting about his working life, which was almost totally devoted to aviation. He started as an Air Training Corp (ATC) cadet in his late teens before becoming an RAAF national serviceman. He later qualified as a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer (LAME), an aeronautical draftsman for Australian National Airways later Ansett, and a flying instructor for Whittlesea based Executive Airlines. Later he joined RMIT's Department of Aerospace Technology and later became its head. He retired in 1996. Doug’s book, ‘War Clouds Over Benalla’, is on the bookshelves of a number of our members.
The next meeting of Sky’s the Limit will be on Wednesday April 5 at 2pm or 1400hrs, to be guided through the Benalla Aviation Museum, the site of a World War II RAAF pilot training school. I suspect most of you know where it is, but just in case, it is in the big hangar immediately to the east of BPACC. So just to stress again that the time of our April meeting will be at 2pm on Wednesday 5th April instead of Tuesday 4th April.
Our best wishes go to our convenor Claire Rudolph, currently in hospital, for a speedy recovery.
