Bit more on David Lowy.
Quote:
He is the eldest son of Westfield Corporation co-founder Frank Lowy and Principal of Lowy Family Group (LFG), the Family Office and private investment group of the Lowy family. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of New South Wales.
Westfield is a large Supermarket chain here in Australia.
Thanks. I especially appreciate the clarification about Westfield. I wouldn't have known otherwise.
While we're on the subject of notable people down under, it's worth mentioning the Kiwi version of Scott Rose (as in he established New Zealand's counterpart to WIX,
The Wings Over New Zealand Aviation Forum): Dave Homewood. In addition to running WONZ, I don't think I need to tell anyone he also hosts the
Wings Over New Zealand Show Aviation Podcast.
This in turn, leads me to another long term forumite, James "JDK" Kightly. In addition to his
Vintage Aero Writer blog, he writes for
Aeroplane and
Flightpath, co-hosts
Wings Over Australia and co-organized the
Aviation Cultures Mk.V Conference. One other note about "JDK" is I think he might hold the record for most widely involved and prolific historic aviation forum contributor. In addition to his (as of this post) 6,879 posts on WIX, he has 8,195 on
Key.aero, 549 on
PPRuNe, and 384 on WONZAF. That's just over 16,000 posts!
Two more people from the museum side of things are Chris Henry of the EAA Aviation Museum and Zach Baughman, formerly of the EAA Aviation Museum, now at the Military Aviation Museum.

Ray Hanna has already been brought up more than once before (
