dunlopdangler Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I'm devastated, Terry would fly one of his replicas to the opening of an envelope. Supported me with our Dalby Wings &Wheels. Another sad day for us all... He will be missed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAFA Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 The crash occurred at the entrance to one of my relatives property (the boarding kennels next to the airstrip). One relative received 3rd degree burns on their legs while trying to free the pilot. RIP Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Pete Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Terry was a great bloke and the Air and Land Spectacular held at Emu Gully will be different without him. I've enjoyed talking with him and looking over his aircraft when I've had the chance. I'm saddend that his daughters have lost a father and that aviation has lost a patriot. To those of you who have shared his passion and spent time with him at his hanger working on and helping him with his planes will feel his loss greatly and indeed have lost a friend.
