At 6:30 pm on June 28th the ABC Television program Talking Heads http://www.abc.net.au/tv/talkingheads/ will be presenting a story that we are sure will be of interest to everyone.

The story is of Squadron Leader Tony Gaze OAM DFC*** - Australian Spitfire Ace & Grand Prix Racing Car Driver. It reads like one of those ‘Boy’s Own’ adventure stories of days gone by, but the story of this remarkable Australian is fact, not fiction. Tony Gaze has a litany of incredible achievements to his credit resulting from his two careers: as a fighter pilot with the Royal Air Force during World War II and as a racing driver afterwards.

He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross three times, was the first Australian to fly jet aircraft operationally and after the war became Australia's Formula One driver.

This Talking Heads segment was filmed at historic RAAF Museum - Point Cook, Vic with the Temora Aviation Museum’s Mk VIII Spitfire as a backdrop. Australian author Stewart Wilson recently assisted Tony by publishing his exciting stories in a beautiful hardcover book which can be purchased online at http://www.chevron.com.au/aviation/avia ... wn_bk.html
