For anyone interested in a slice of Australian aviation history, or who would like to know a little more about Guido Zuccoli, here's a glimpse into the life of a remarkable aviator.
Guido was a pioneer of the Australian warbird movement, an internationally respected aerobatic pilot, engineer, aircraft restorer, and mentor. He was selected as one of the first group of pilots to represent Australia at the World Aerobatic Championships, became the first Australian to compete at the Reno Air Races, and helped preserve the flying heritage that so many of us enjoy today. His contributions were recognised by the Northern Territory, which honoured him by naming the Palmerston suburb of 'Zuccoli' after him.
