This news is overwhelmingly sad. As well as others, what a loss to the historic aircraft restoration community. I corresponded with Mr. Powell over many months and was the beneficiary of his sage advice regarding my own Mosquito rebuild project. Perhaps we can turn our thoughts to establishing a memorial to his memory in this country. His life's work should be remembered as an outstanding example of the virtues of perseverance, dedication and resolution.
A marvellously resolute person.
