Kevin Hunt was a decent kind man and a very approachable pilot as Rog describes. Whilst he was in Stoke Mandeville recovering from his serious spinal injuries one of our BMA Heathrow colleagues was knocked off his motorbike by a car on the Heathrow Spur road. Sadly the person incurred the same result as Kevin, serious spinal injuries which left him unable to walk. I asked Kevin if he would be kind enough to chat to the young man, who was in Stoke Mandeville at the same time. Kevin being Kevin didn't hesitate and met up with the young lad.
Yes Kevin made a costly mistake that fateful night but he was a lovely human being. RIP my old friend.
