BILL FROST

Bill Frost once landed a JetRanger chopper at Nev Pollard's small school at Yarras Mill inland a bit from Wauchope in about Nov 1972. He was doing a ferry trip from New Guinea to Sydney and talked to Nev's kids then took Nev up for a ride.

 [From Bill:]         Visited Talbingo in either late 67 or early 68 by car while on a shooting trip. Luke Livissianos (Turvey Park Dem) was Headmaster to Jim Smart and I talked to the assembled kids on how a chopper stayed in the air. Self and a mate stayed in Jim's Talbingo house for about five days in Aug 68 school hols while Jim / Jan were away and I was about to depart for SVN. I got back from SVN just as Jim was about to leave for Canada in Sep 69 and I was able to take the family for lunch at Rose Bay. All back in the days when I was on the move all the time. Now I'm very content to watch the change of Seasons  and observe the trees grow.

Bill lives near Tumut - which is where Bob Bennetts and Dave Ross (WWTC 1962-63) came from and also Jim Smart.
