Sad news received today, Ernie Clark (ex tuggie at Caboolture Gliding Club and friend/mentor to many including me with vintage aircraft maintenance and restoration) has passed away.
1. Ernie takes a flight in the K7 ... May 2008 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYxg5tIvV5o (with thanks to Speedy for providing the link to this video) 2. The K7 Story ... http://www.glidingcaboolture.org.au/The%20Ka7%20Story/Ka7index.htm 3. Brisbane Valley Gliding Club (became Caboolture Gliding Club) ... Contributed by Bob Turner: BVGC founder was Tony Hayes in 1989. Original CFI was Bob Turner (on a temporary three months basis while Tony Hayes gained endorsements to take on the role). Hughie Dare purchased VH-GVD which operated at Gympie from 23-Mar-90 to 11-May-90. Other members who flew at Gympie were Tony Hayes (re-soloed), Ernie Clark, Steve Vette, Fran Vette, and Danny Tolson. Contributed by John Clayton: I first flew with BVGC on 22-Jul-90 with Tony Hayes (President/CFI) and, from memory, L2 Bob Turner is the only other remaining member. Believe Tony Sorensen, Ernie Clark, Rod O'Hara and Phil Walters were tuggies flying the Piper Super Cub at the time. Bert Persson was also about. Club fleet consisted of Blanik (VH-GVD) and the KA4's were VH-IKK and VH-XJP. Kevin Rodda
