Police, Planes , Trains & Motorbikes.

​

Our owner and founder, Garry Schilling, has 4 loves.

 

His first, to become a Policeman, second was to race motorbikes.  His third was to fly planes and fourth was to build model trains. Not necessarily in that order.   He has achieved them all.

 

A career with SAPOL was cut short due to a serious motor bike accident. This led him down the path of embarking upon another love; Aeroplanes, Helicopters and the Wonder of Flight. He achieved his pilot’s licence to fly small fixed winged planes and began a small-jet charter business in Adelaide, quickly gaining clients such as the Australian Federal Government and members of the Australian Cricket Team. However this was not meant to be at this time.

 

Life throws many curveballs which saw Garry go through many life changes and challenges. 

His next curveball was in 2016 when he received a ‘tap on the shoulder’, a gift, if you will, in the form of an aggressive cancer which forced him to reassess his future, what he was doing and where he was going.  Reflecting on a business he had during the 1990’s and 2000’s, it was while forced to isolate during the two years of COVID that an idea took shape.

 

A list of priorities and passions was written. The top priority was ‘Have Fun’ and the top passion, which had always lingered in the background, was his love of flight.

 

Combining the two saw the birth of HELI LUNCH.
