I had the pleasure of knowing Graham for many years. He was truly a man of the air and a pilot's pilot never forgetting the attraction of flight personally and for all who flew.
In his younger days he very much looked up to those who came before him and then in turn he took on the same role for those who followed.
I was one of those followers.
Graham's insistance on the highest standards was his trademark and with this he provided a benchmark for all.
At another level his personal counsel was pure gold especially when my own career progressed amazingly to the stage where other pilots saw me as a source of knowledge and wisdom ... a weighty role indeed but one made easier by Graham.
Australian aviation is much poorer with Graham's loss.
His amazing skill, knowledge and wide experience will be sadly missed.
Thanks mate.
