THE late aerobatics champion Tom Moon was honoured with a fitting tribute on Saturday almost a year after he died in a tragic aeroplane accident in Temora. Mr Moon was a founding member of the Temora Aviation Museum and his name will forever be remembered in the town after he was honoured with the renaming of Menzies Street to Tom Moon Avenue.Mr Moon died in January last year when the aerobatic plane he was flying crashed at the Temora airport when he was performing aerobatic manoeuvres. In recognition of his role in establishing the Temora Aviation Museum, the Temora Shire Council received permission to rename the street on which the museum is located.As part of the Temora Aviation Museum's flying weekend, Mr Moon was honoured after Saturday's air show and assistant manager of the museum, Lisa Love said more than 250 people stayed to see the unveiling of Tom Moon Avenue."It was a very nice ceremony and unveiling of the new street name. "For some it was a bit of a celebration of his contribution to the museum and for others it was another sad moment," she said.Airport Road and Menzies Street were closed for an hour when the ceremony took place to officially rename the street.The touching tribute along with the two-day flying weekend attracted many visiting aircraft and travellers.The flying line-up treated viewers to aircraft from the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society and the Royal Australian Navy.Mrs Love said the Temora air shows attracted huge numbers and was an enjoyable weekend each time it was hosted, and this year was no exception."This was not a small show by any standards," she said. "It has all gone very well, very smooth and very safe."The Catalina flying boat and the Royal Australian Navy Historic Flight's Huey helicopter were two of the main attractions at the weekend, as the visiting aircraft weren't regular features of the airshow.A FIRE has caused a Telstra telephone exchange to burn to the ground at Gogeldrie near Leeton late on Saturday night affecting the service of about 100 Telstra customers. General Manager of Telstra country wide, Andrew Cottrill said service crews worked overnight and extremely hard in an attempt to get service back to Telstra customers as soon as possible.It is expected that customers will have their telephone service back on early today.Mr Cottrill said because of recent bush fire emergencies Telstra have had upgrades in preparation and equipment which has helped in the efficiency in getting cables to the exchange within a day rather than waiting a month for it to be fixed.Yesterday afternoon a cause of the fire was still unknown and Mr Cottrill said an investigation will begin once customers get their Telstra service back because that was their first priority.
