VH-KTH / ZR-J (cn AK752) This photo (along with others) was uploaded as a tribute to the late Col Pay, who died in an aircraft accident at Lake Liddell, near Muswellbrook NSW on 07Dec 2007. Condolences are extended to his family and friends. This photo shows Col taxying his Kittyhawk (with a Marshaller 'Riding Shotgun') at the RAAF 70th Anniversary Airshow at Richmond in 1991. Another pilot was flying his Mustang VH-AUB that day. Both aircraft were flown in superb handling displays during the Airshow.
