          No, it wasnt a gyro, it was a Savanah LSA piloted by a very dear friend of mine whom I got to know around 96 when I was up north working. He was only a young tacker back then still going to school & badly wanting to get home. At every chance he got he would come & be ground crew for me & we worked together on a number of stations on the run & I knew him as a son so its been a very bitter pill to swallow. His Mum & Dad 7 the rest of the family I regard as my own. Luke was one of those very special types that you only see once in
