Sandy - what an incredible man.
I first met Sandy in 1990 at White Waltham where I was doing an AFI course with Hamish Ross. Sandy was the life and soul of the clubhouse - particularly early/mid evening when he would decant from his Commercial groundschool with his students.
I subsequently called on Sandy`s professional services at Coventry a few years later - his patience and fortitude at dealing with my lack of wisdom - in both Perf A and some ATPL subjects - was truly magnificent... I owe Sandy so very much... as he used to say, "it`s easy when you know how.."
An absolute gentleman who gave so much, to so many, so often.
