LANG -

In her book, 'Lonely for my land', Tish Lees says of Lang Hancock:

"With Lang, what you saw was what you got. There was no pretence or posturing or beating about the bush. He didn't suffer fools gladly and was indifferent to what people thought of him."

Tish relates a story about Lang during his jet-setting travels to other countries. His pilot accidentally dropped Lang's dilly bag on the tarmac and when he investigated the contents he found a tin plate, can opener and two tins of camp pie. When the pilot asked Lang about it Lang replied : "With the tucker they dish up over here you can't eat, you never know when you might need a decent feed."
