There was a fatality at Canungra last Friday. That was my friend Brian Braby, better know as Bumble by the local Byron Boys, who I stay with when I’m in Oz. His house is where I store my van when I’m out of the country. He was only 40 something, He leaves behind his wife and three children age from about 6 to 10 years old. I’m looking into a flight over there for his funeral if I can find out when it is and if I can make it in time.

He was a very experienced pilot and flew at the Bogong Cup and at Manilla for the State Champs. It sounds like it was a freak accident with him falling out of a tree after turbulence after launch and landing chest first on a tree stump. I’m still in shock. I, as will many others, will miss him very much.
