Peninsula Aero Club
Paul MERCURIO (Hastings) (10:02): On another matter, I have always said that Tyabb Airport and the Peninsula Aero Club are a jewel in the crown of the Mornington Peninsula. On 18 January I attended the unveiling of a monument to the Angel of Mercy. The Angel of Mercy was the world’s very first helicopter air ambulance. It started in 1971 at Tyabb Airport and was the brainchild of Dr Tom Ready and Bill Vowell, along with many other people that assisted in developing it. I am very proud that it came from Tyabb and it is now all over the world.
