I worked with Rick on Bristow Masayu's Rio Tinto operation in Sumatra, Indonesia back in 1972/73. He was flying Bell 206A's with the very necessary water methanol injection system. He and I would socialise with our respective girlfriends - both later to become our wives - in Singapore on our time-off. My wife still keeps in touch with his. This would be his first wife and my wife is informing her as I write this. I met Rick again in China about eight years ago when he was doing some relief flying at Shekou. Rick was the kind of guy I generally categorize as "quietly competent." Blue skies Rick.
