Anne Wills’ husband tragically died in a 1980 plane crash — but Willsy believes he visited her one last time.
Willsy reminisced with FIVEAA’s Tony Pilkington about the night she was on her way to pick up her second husband Michael Fenwick from the airport…
“I’m driving out there at 8.30-9pm to go and pick him up… and as I’m driving out there, I had this feeling that I was being immersed in warm oil from the head down.
“It was just the most beautiful feeling. It was surreal. And I thought, God, I feel good — this is fabulous.”
Willsy later realised this was about the same time the plane Michael was piloting crashed.
“So I reckon Michael came to visit me in the car — that’s what I reckon. It was around abut that time that I felt I was being warmed all over.”

Willsy told Pilko she should have been in the plane with her husband when it crashed, but had stayed behind in Adelaide to work at Channel 9.
“You think how things happen — it wasn’t my time to go.
“I used to say to him, I’m scared of you flying. And he’d say, but lovey, as a pilot, if your number’s up, your numbers up. And I said, but if your number’s up, why should I go as well?
“We used to joke about that.”
Michael was killed when wind threw the plane he was piloting into a mountain. Willsy said she believed he had died instantly.
“I hope so, I believe so. I don’t think he could have even got that four-letter word out, which was good.
“They told me they found the body, it’s intact, but he would’ve died instantly. That’s all I really needed to know.”
