A few years ago, when sitting, bored, in random hotel room, I wondered what had become of all of the pilots who had flown the RAN A-4Gs. So, I set about finding out, and came up with a contact list. Sadly though, time is catching up with us, even if some of the aircraft live on. A few days ago I was informed about the passing of one of the pilots, who had come to us from the RN. Looking around, I found this wonderful story about a 'race' that he was involved in, way back in 1969. Vale, Alan Hickling.
