Radschool Magazine - In Memory Ian Tyrer. Galafrey Wines , Premium Wines Mount Barker WA
Radschool Association Magazine - Vol 34
thanks to Robin Hayes and the Radschool Magazine for this great little article about Ian Tyrer and RAAF
Robin Hayes got in touch, he says, Hi, Just been reading some back
issues and saw a 
photo
in
issue 25. One of the guys in the photo was Ian Tyrer who
died of cancer in
2003. Ian a larger than life RadtechA with 76 Sqn, pulled the pin
shortly after that photo was taken. Just recently while on a trip to
Albany and while passing through Mt Barker, I stopped off to visit
the Galafrey vineyard he established with his wife Lynda. He was one
of the pioneers of wine making in the Great Southern District and
now his wines are considered amongst the best in WA. The name
Galafrey was stolen from the Dr Who series on TV and now the wine
has become the official drink for the series. If any of Ian's old
friends, and there were many, are passing through I would recommend
a stopover and visit with Lynda and his daughter Kim and sample some
truly awesome wines.
