The talent at the controls

Graeme Bennet talks with Bob Small on a runway.

When Planes, Trains and Automobiles co-host Graeme Bennett flew down to Warrnambool in the restored TAA DC 3 recently, he didn’t have to worry about who was sitting up front!

Captain Alan Searle has been flying DC-3’s since the 1950’s and his co-pilot on the day was the recently retired Qantas Senior Captain, Bob Small. Bob’s job with Qantas was to train pilots on the new superjumbos…the A380’s!

Graeme caught up with Bob with a tarmac interview on their arrival at Warrnambool Airport.
