When you need to step up, what will you do?
Melbourne born and educated, Richard Champion de Crespigny AM got
his first taste of a future flying career as a 14-year-old when his
father took him on a tour of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF)
Academy at Point Cook in Victoria.
In 1975, aged seventeen, he joined the RAAF. One year later, he
started flying. During his 11 years flying transport, jet and
helicopter aircraft with the RAAF, he was seconded as Aide-de-Camp
to two Australian Governors-General – Sir Zelman Cowen and Sir
Ninian Stephen. Richard remained with the RAAF until 1986 when he
joined Qantas, flying Boeing 747, Airbus A330 and A380 jet
aircraft.
In 2010 he was the Captain on board Qantas flight QF32 when it
suffered a catastrophic explosion. His multi-award-winning and
best-selling book QF32 is a blow-by-blow story of what went right
when things went wrong in the air.
Richard still flies the Airbus A380. He delivers presentations on
the elements of resilience (knowledge, training, experience,
teamwork, decision-making, crisis management, post-traumatic stress
and risk) to governments, government agencies and Fortune 500
companies.
In the 2016 Australia Day Honours, Richard was made a Member of the
Order of Australia (AM) for his significant service to the aviation
industry, both nationally and internationally, particularly to
flight safety and to the community.
Richard and his wife, Coral, have two children, Alexander and
Sophia. Adrian Mulraney is a graduate of the Western Australian
Academy of Performing Arts. Along with being a top voice artist, he
has appeared in over 70 theatre shows in four Australian states and
has appeared in Stingers, Neighbours, MDA and many other TV shows
and feature films.
