Nothing sinister about it (no debts or paternity suits!). I just need to know if FCB ever worked for Adastra. I know he flew Hudsons with East-West and I've also been told he flew with Adastra. If I can get confirmation from the horse's mouth I'd be grateful.

Cheers

Yes I believe he did fly for Bushies. Now does anybody know where he is?

The last time I saw Chris was in 1982 when I was leaving Cairns. He was then retired. Not of his own doing as I remember.
He was a really great guy with a wealth of flying knowledge. I remember there was a 26,000 hour party for Chris at either Bushies Bar or the institute around 1980. I think!!
If he is alive he would be well over 80 now.
I have many fond memories of Chris and there are many stories that come to mind.
I am sure I'm not the only one with a Chris story

Thanks for your help, but I have just learned from ex-Bushies sources that Chris Braund is deceased. Sadly, not the result I was hoping for.

Regards
