News update - October speaker - Richard de Crespigny

2/10/2023

Our speaker on Tuesday 3 October at 2pm is retired Qantas pilot Richard de Crespigny. Richard is famous for successfully piloting an Airbus 380, Qantas flight QF32, when it suffered a catastrophic uncontained engine failure just a few minutes after departing Singapore in November 2010. The crew managed to bring the airplane back to Singapore for a successful landing. Richard wrote a book QF32 and Its Aftermath about that & FLY! The Elements of Resilience. Before Qantas he flew for 11 years with the RAAF.
