I read the current Aeroplane Monthly and was greatly impressed by the letter from Alex Henshaw on accident investigation findings. It was written following the publication of the Spanish reports on Mark's tragic accident but concerned another fatal accident that happened during Alex's time at Castle Bromwich during the war.
I miss Mark enormously. We had a few run ins over the years but he was always transparently honest and took the odd rocket with good grace. His talent as a display pilot was enormous and he reached that select body of immortals who have thrilled us all over so many years. Too few in Mark's case.
From time to time, and especially on the 26th September 2004 at Sywell, I remember him and his infectious enthusiasm for all types if vintage aircraft and especially the fighters of all ages. Rest in peace Mark. When we meet again it will indeed be a happy occasion, for me at least.............!!!!!!!!!!!
