Default Hugh

One of the significant things regarding Hugh was he was the first person (that I'm aware of) in Australia who preserved a CMP for what it was, rescuing it from the usual fate of being cut down as a yard crane. He did an excellent job of conservation over the next 50 plus years.

For that he well deserves legendary status in my opinion, although he would probably have scoffed at the 'legend' title!

RIP, Hugh Thompson.

My condolences to the Thompson family.
