Comment by Barrie

"With a little help Ron managed to climb into the plane and I managed to 'squeeze' his walking frame into the luggage compartment. We had an uneventful flight into Essendon from Mildura."

Comment by Michael

"As this was Rons 27th flight he took the 50 knot northerly winds in his stride knowing the 2.5 hour plane trip was still preferable to a 6 hour car trip."
