    Here he is at Rathmines Catalina Festival, Lake Macquarie, NSW, in Nov 2013. He's with David Isaac another forum friend. At the time Ross said he was becoming more and more interested in float planes.

    Hi BullI just found some images of Ross for your presentation.

     

    In two you can see him inspecting his lightwing, before he did that he had cecked over another aircraft that had flown in and the carby rubbers had cracks and as luck had it he had some a fitted a new set which ensured safe flying for that aircraft. He also showed others there what to look for and what cracked carb rubbers looked like. He was always about talking aviation, and promoting / passing on good safe maintenance tips and methods. As we know he will be missed and flyins, on the forum and on the phone. The image is on his departure from Palmyra at Mackay when he called to visit my building of the Nynja. It was planned to get him up for a flight before xmas but now that can't happen; another image is when he took me for a flight around the Old Station area.

     

    He was a great mate to have and know. Look forward to seeing the finished presentation.

     

    Catch up soon.

     

    Regards

     

    Mike

        A TOWNSVILLE pilot killed in a light plane crash at Woodstock yesterday was a larrikin who “lived and breathed” flying, according to friends.
         
        Ross Millard, 64, died when his LightWing light aircraft crashed after take-off at Ace Aviation’s private airfield at 6.40am.
         
        Mr Millard, Recreational Aviation Australia’s North Queensland board member, had been flying for more than 45 years.
         
        He had cheated death once previously, surviving a crash in the Northern Territory in 1974 in which two people died after a skydiving plane suffered “major engine power loss”.
         
        Devastated friends yesterday remembered Mr Millard as someone who dedicated his life to improving aviation safety standards.
         
        “He is a very experienced man and had flown all types of aircraft for many years so this a catastrophic loss,” fellow Woodstock pilot Ray Horn.
         
        “He had done a lot of unpaid work through the ultralight fraternity because he was that passionate about flying.
         
        “If I needed an inspection on my plane, he would be the man I go to because he took safety very seriously.
         
        “There was every chance he was flying a plane he had been doing inspections on and I understand it was about ready for a test flight.”
         
        Mr Millard was a contract aircraft maintainer and aviation consultant across the North and was a member of Ingham Aero Club.
         
        He had previously worked as an aircraft engineer for Air Whitsunday Seaplanes and TransAir in California, as well as a technician for the Royal Australian Air Force.
         
        North Queensland Aviation Services owner Mary Brown said Mr Millard was known as “little buddy” around Ingham and was an upbeat, outgoing man.
         
        “He was very pro-active at promoting in aviation in this region,” she said.
         
        “Ross always strived for the highest standard of aircraft maintenance and always promoted good, safe aviation.
         
        “He was very well known, an absolute unique character and a bit of a larrikin and it’s so tragic we’ve lost him, but he died doing what he loved.”
         
        Woodstock’s Donnington Airpark owner Ray Smith said the crash was a terrible loss for the ultralight industry.
         
        “I had known Ross for several years and always found him to be a good sort of fellow to know
         
        and I have never heard anyone say a bad word against him,” Mr Smith said.
         
        “We had nothing in the way of wind here so flying conditions would have been perfect.”
         
        Mr Millard was involved in the investigation of two planes that crashed near Woodstock in February, killing pilots Errol Young and Robin Friend.
         
        “We all accept normal risks when we fly,” Mr Millard said at the time.
         
        An investigation into the crash has begun and a report will be prepared for the coroner and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
