So sad to hear of Angus's death though he had been in poor health for some time. His displays were lways a joy to watch particularly in the Vega Gull with which he had a great affinity. He was a fine test pilot and in his latter days in retirement he often tested prototype PFA aerplanes for an intial PtoF. On one occasion in a Glasair the undercarriage limit microswitch was out of adjustment and the gear continued to come up until the upper wing skins started bulgeing up. Other men would have had a cardiac arrest but not Angus. He calmly coped and put the bird back on the ground in one piece. We seldom see pilots of his calibre and I am proud to have had him as a friend. We are indeed the poorer for his passing but while he was with us we saw some very high quality displays in a wide variety of aeroplanes. Rest with the angels Angus and give your personal wings a good workout prior to recommending them for a full Permit to Fly.
Goodbye and many thanks,
Trapper 69
