Hi David ,
Delighted to see Goya`s Christmas cards ….many thanks for posting them on line …just typical of Goya`s wonderful irreverent outlook on everything including nonsensible & restrictive flying regs, May his free spirit fly on for ever …we need more like him .I am pretty sure that the cartoons were drawn by his close friend SMH cartoonist & fellow pilot Jack Lusby who served with distinction in the RAAF during WW2. Goya used to fold “Jolly Roger`s ” wings & push her over state borders then fold them out again to save intrastate flying taxes …. Don Orr , nephew

Rob Parer ex Aitape PNG has led me into researching Goya Henry. I’m delighted to read of another colorful character of PNG’s pre-Independance days. Goya reminds me of Bill Wiltshire, another colorful aviator. Who knew Bill personally as I did in Vila New Hebrides in 1967, or maybe knew of him and has another story to tell?
Was Goya Henry the first to fly a plane under the Sydney Harbour Bridge? « Stories by David Wall said,
