I'd like to pass my deepest condolences to Di and the rest of the family.
Chas was one of the longest serving PPRuNe members. I remember him first getting in touch with me over something controversial and from that time on I got to know him. He became a moderator when we set up the Britannia Airways Pilots Forum and was always ready with help and advice if it was needed.
Many of you will remember Chas from PPRuNe bashes and I don't think he missed any of them. His help to Don with the PPRuNe Fund was most appreciated.
My heart goes out to Di and she can be comforted by the fact that Chas will be missed by everyone who ever had the good fortune to meet him.
