Graham Schott, the late owner, builder and pilot of KR-2 VH-XXS came to be known by those who did not know him personally as "The Man in the Red Hat". Today Graham's red hat is permanently displayed in the cockpit of VH-XXS. Traditionally, the red hat is now worn by the QAM member in charge of running the engine at special events. At the request of Graham's family, the aircraft is not flown. Image: Ron Cuskelly
