Oh ohhhhhhhh, I sent the CGC photo link to AusSoaring sorry Kevin!! I thought that you'd finished...I should have asked first.
I had a quick look and I've never seen anything like it! In my excitement I sent the link to AusSoaring for anyone to add or comment. Oops!

The new pages, to be "published" soon arer based on photos, letters, notes and log book extracts provided to me by Max Howland covering his 20 year gliding career that commenced in 1958. Soon after reading your email advising that Jack Iggulden had passed away, I came accorss this photo of Jack (on left) with Max (on right). From Max's notes ... "Jack Iggulden tries our Kookaburra at Kingaroy. Jack was a Gliding Federation of Australia Leading Pilot. His brother Bill Iggulden was GFA President for many years". Max resides at Tewantin ... unfortunately his long time ground crew member (wife Daphne) passed away earlier this year. Thought you and others might be interested to see this photo of Jack which would be from around 1960 (I think).
