Hi Caleb,
Great to see GRZ back in the air. I have been away from gliding for about 25
years, and am just taking a new interest again. Upon seeing your email, I
went back and checked an early log book, and low and behold, I flew GRZ on
7/11/ 70 at Benalla with Mr Mac O'Mera. My father (Hugh Eddy)was a senior
instructor with GCV for 20 odd years, up until March 75 when he was
unfortunately killed in a Motor Faulke accident just near Lake Mokohan
(Winton Swamp) I was involved with Dad at the GCVfor many years, and was
bought up flying Kookaburra's. I have flown GPS,GPE,GPR,GRN,GPKGNM, and
loved them all. Congratulations again on a job well done
Kindest Regards
John Eddy

Hi All,
Apologies for sending attachments (I’ve tried to keep them small) but it's
‘proud father’ time. Yesterday morning Kookaburra GRZ successfully completed
a 41 minute test flight at Bacchus Marsh; restored by the KPST after 15
YEARS IN STORAGE in WA.
GRZ started life in December 1960 with the GCV before migrating to WA where
she flew with the CGWA, Goldfields Gliding Club and many others.
Many thanks to everyone who assisted with her ‘paddock crossing’ especially
Don Woodward, Les and Ash Boyle, Alf Williams and Kevin Saunders.
David and I look forward to many happy years of soaring in GRZ. If anyone
would like more information or photos please don’t hesitate to email me.
Best Regards,
Caleb
Kookaburra Precision Soaring (and Restoring) Team
