Very sad to report, Aussie Brown collapsed and died near his home in Spain on Sunday May 11th.
He was a well known aerial photographer, and did a lot of work for Flyer and other mags over the years. Many forum members will have his book on the DC-3, a type he flew with Cambrian Airways.
A funeral service is planned for 2pm on Friday 23rd May 2014 at Marlow Methodist Church, Spittal Street, Marlow, Buckinghamshire SL7 3HJ and afterwards at White Waltham Aerodrome – West London Aero Club clubhouse, near Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 3NJ. All friends are very welcome.
The family have requested no flowers but donations can be made to a memorial fund to be set up which will go towards a good cause in Austin’s name.

Shame…..he was a great guy…and a great photographer. I guess he could only have been in his fifties…early sixties??
Time marches on! He was in his late ’60s I believe, possibly would have been 70 next year.
A dear friend and a gentleman for almost 50 years
