Ron was still alive a couple of years ago
That is amazing and excellent news. I was one of two Controllers on duty in the Tower at Linton, and witnessed Ron's accident that Saturday morning at the end of April 1977. The airfield had opened specifically for Ron to practise his display. All I knew at the time was that Ron had suffered significant head injuries, and the prognosis was not good. I believe he spent a long time in Wroughton Hospital.
