Default Syd Beck

Just saw online Syd Beck, founder of the aircraft and vehicle museum at Mareeba has passed away.

Syd went to prodigious efforts to save aircraft and vehicles and used CMPs to recover the remains of a P39 Airacobra.

The museum also is home to a SC1 Scout car (unrestored) and a FGT cab 12 which is sitting on a F15A chassis, as well as the C15A Wireless Signals van which I used to drive here in Melbourne in the mid 1970s and was used by someone to move home in the 80s to FNQ.
