A fact from Robin Miller (nurse) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 February 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Robin Miller was a female Australian pilot and nurse who borrowed money to buy a Cessna 182 and then began flying to remote outback areas in Western Australia to vaccinate Indigenous Australian children against polio and thus became known as the "Sugarbird Lady"?
It's a difficult one, since it's the interaction between being a nurse and an aviator that made her notable. I must say I was a bit miffed that the move was made when there are no other Robin Miller entries already in wikipedia - the other possible Robin Miller (HMV) could be easily distinguished by the Sir. So I originally thought that the move was a bit too quick off the mark. However, when I thought about it, generally in wiki, people of the same name are distinguished by their occupation, Since she was first and foremost a nurse I guess it is reasonable that the article stands as is. That said I am open to other solutions.... SeanMack14:09, 4 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hmm. I just noticed that Sir Robin Miller doesn't actually have a Wikipedia article to begin with. Until someone comes up with one, I think we should replace the disambiguation page with this page (at Robin Miller) and worry about disambiguation pages when we actually have articles to disambiguate. —Cleared as filed.20:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
Having read the guide mentioned by SYSS Mouse, I'm tempted to leave it as is, since Sir will not be used to distinguish Sir Robin Miller... I need direction from more experienced users. Regards SeanMack10:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
I was about to get started on some research to create a stub for Sir Robin Miller, so that the whole thing would become moot and we could just leave things as-is. However, I discovered that he is no longer the chairman of HMV, which means that not only does he not have a Wikipedia article right now, he's no longer the thing he was originally notable for on the disambiguation page. Since the third Robin Miller on the disambiguation page also has no article and doesn't seem that notable, I again think we should just move this page back to Robin Miller and come up with disambiguation pages when we actually need them. —Cleared as filed.14:19, 5 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
I did a bit of searching and added what info I could find on Sir Robin Miller to the existing Robin Miller page. he's been a fairly significant player within English business for quite some time so I do think we should have an article for him. I'm happy for anyone to organise the pages whatever way they see fit. Cheers SeanMack16:33, 5 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
I wasn't sure - I had a look at other business bios and didn't see anything like that being used. It's in the "too hard basket" for me... Whatever you think is best - I have no strong feelings as to how the pages get organised. Cheers SeanMack16:45, 5 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
Well, I'll go ahead and do that for now just to get his bio off the disambiguation page, but I also have no strong feelings about it and if anyone wants to move it somewhere else afterwards, I have no objection. —Cleared as filed.16:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
Its just that I recall David saying his father had something to do with the RFDS. But then again maybe I was dreaming. -- Moondyne06:56, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure when exactly but I heard that a few years ago during a storm something got loose so they dismounted the aircraft from the memorial statue. Currently only the stone is there but the aircraft is not sitting on it. ZdrytchX (talk) 11:28, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
