RIP Jim Hilton

[max roll rate]

Today I was told that Jim Hilton the Chief flying instructor and owner of the old IMC flying school has passed away , he died on Saturday after a heart attack , Jim had stopped flying himself due to bad health some time ago and that was a loss to us then , his wonderful ways of teaching the imc rating will be remembered by all who had the chance to spend time at his home field barn at Turweston , his holding patterns ndb tracking and other instrument procedures around the salt and pepper tomato sauce bottle and of course the bottle of wine on the dinner table were a site to behold , my thoughts go to his family at this time , I feel lucky to have known the man .

RIP Jim

Yep, I was one of the many who did the IMC course with his little club in the early days, out of Hinton-in-The_Hedges and took my test with Jim. He was a laid back CFI and made you feel at ease in a test situation. My thought go to his family. May he rest in peace.
