I heard this today.

Very sad news. My fingers and toes are crossed for a positive outcome. He is a true gentlemen and an amazing trainer.

I would like to echo Emma's sentiment. An absolutely first class trainer and more importantly a genuinely nice person.
Hoping for a positive outcome.

If anyone has an email or mailing address for EL, please could you PM me? He did several of my PPCs over a 19 year period on both classic 'Bus and the Boeing, right and left seat, and a significant part of my upgrade training. Absolutely first class trainer and a real gentleman.

EL was operated on yesterday and the outcome was good. It was luckily not a tumour..instead an aneurysm or something similar.

The prognosis is for a good recovery.

This is great news; as all have said here he's an excellent trainer and a genuinely nice guy.

He did my final upgrade LOE many moons ago...on Christmas day. While he was professional to a tee, he really did just want to get home to nice glass of red wine.

All the best fella.

Really glad to hear that!
Get well soon and fast recoveries EL!
I did my very first flight in EK with him and several SIMs, line checks...
Always a gentleman and a good company, someone that you can sit and chat for hours.
