Badly Broken, Barely Breathing
To Phil... the RFDS is the efficiency that helped save his life.
When a ride on the Birdsville Track went horribly wrong, 69-year-old Adelaide financial advisor Phil Eley, a veteran motorcyclist was flung over his handlebars, crash-landing metres from his bike.
His friends at the scene, Bill and Lindon, feared the worst.

“By the time I got there, he was lying on the side of the road completely motionless with the bike just smashed to bits.”
