Change in Leadership for Wide Bay Australia International Airshow
Board
At the Wide Bay Australia International Airshow meeting on Friday the Board was
informed that Mr Peter Tuffield had tendered his resignation as Chairman and Director
due to serious illness.
Peter, who recently retired from the National Australia bank, where he was Regional
Business Banking Manager, has been Chairman of the Airshow for the past six years and
has been instrumental in making the Airshow into a professionally run organisation that
contributes substantially to the region's economy every two years. Since he took over
leadership in 2005, he has been the face of the Airshow and has worked tirelessly to build
this event to the International standard that it is today. Peter has also been actively
involved in the community and is recognised for giving freely of his time to assist the
Airshow and many other community-based initiatives.
It was with reluctance that the Board accepted Peter's resignation. The Board of Directors
has appointed Mr Daryl Corpe as the new Chairman and Mr Neil McPhillips as Deputy
Chairman.
"I have great respect for Peter's decision. It would have been a difficult decision as his
dedication and enthusiasm for this event is unquestionable" said Daryl Corpe, Chairman.
"Peter has made an outstanding contribution to the Airshow and it is with great regret that
the Directors and staff will no longer be able to work with Peter on this event. We extend
our thanks and appreciation to Peter for his service and wish him a full recovery, and we hope
to see him actively engaged in community activities again in the future." said Daryl.
Daryl Corpe's and Neil McPhillip's commitment to aviation is demonstrated in more than
their personal passion for flying. They have collectively volunteered over nine years to
help make the Wide Bay Australia International Air Show a success, benefitting the local
aviation industry and economy.
