Very good Dick0,

I thought his face might have been a tad easier to recognise. My daughter who has worked for both Qantas & Emirates alerted me to the fact they always put Hudson's name of the image of the Frequent Flyer cards.

 Fysh, alongside Paul McGinness and Sir Fergus McMaster started Qantas in 1920. Despite government ownership, Fysh became managing director and chairman of Qantas. A committee member of the International Air Transport Association, he became president of the organisation in 1960. He was also one of the founders of the Australian National Travel Association, now known as the Australian Tourist Commission,
