Such a sad day in Aviation in Australia, She made it to the naming ceremony which is what she wanted which was great!

What a wonderful and eloquent Lady, had the pleasure of meeting her at Parafield in 1996, she was part of the crew of the Lockheed 12 VH-UZO in the Ansett Air Race.
An absolute honour to have spent 10 minutes of my life with her! She is probably the last link we have with the Sir Charles Kingsford Smith era. One of Australia's true icons and I am glad she lived to see the A380 named in her honour.

My father took a joy-flight with her in country NSW back in the 30's, all he remembers was it was a bi-plane and they were chasing wildlife, geese he thinks, (he was in his mid-teens at the time).
He had a book on Charles Kingsford Smith which she inscribed for him, when they met again in 1988. "To Ben, A brave man who flew with me, Best wishes Nancy-Bird 1988" This book is now in my treasured possession. A great woman and a great life. Thanks NB |
