I too am shocked. What a wonderfully talented man and aviator. I had not seen him since Lyneham days in the late 70s when he had the whole Station in fits when the monthly mag came out with Chas's 'Rompers Green' comic strip therein.
Furthermore, his attitude to his training role on the C130 was exemplary; with him, training could be enjoyed.
Goodbye, Chas.
