It is with enormous sorrow and great love that the
family of Captain Paul Norris, raise this site
as a tribute to the Son, Husband, Brother, Uncle, or friend that
we all adored.
Paul was one of the greats - a shiny star burning
a bright path through life, his life tragically cut short along
with 14 other passengers and crew in a plane
crash in Far North Queensland, Australia, on Saturday 7th
of May 2005, at the age of 34.
Paul was filled with enormous Generosity, Passion, Laughter and
a huge love of life and people - his adored wife Fiona, his family
and friends, and of course the second great passion in his life
- Flying.
It was this passion for flying that found Paul in Far North Queensland and the Torres Strait,
far from his home and wife in Sydney, pursuing his dream of being
a Qantas captain one day, we are all sure that with his flying
skills, and total professionalism he would have made that dream
a reality.
Paul was not flying the plane that tragic day, he was off duty,
and on his way to meet Fiona for their 4th Wedding anniversary
(that very day) and it is cruelly ironic and saddening that a man
that was never a passenger in life, was one on his final
journey.
A Beautiful and totally fitting Memorial Service
for Paul was held on Friday 10th of June 2005, for details click

Our hearts go out to the families and friends of
all 15 of the Passengers and Crew on VH-TFU Our Sincere condolences
to all who lost loved ones.
