Not sure if I can make it but I will if I can. George was one of lifes greats. I had the utmost respect for the man. I remember being his first officer many years ago and during final descent, with pax in an un-pressurised aircraft I did something quite stupid. I think I had a couple of thousand hours and very wet behind the ears. For some bizarre reason I increased the rate of descent to about a thousand feet per minute keeping the speed up and generally trying to be clever. We completed are post flight and as I was walking out the crew room he said "oh by the way I still haven't got my head round why you went from a stable 500" per minute to 1000" per minute." We both smiled, I thought and I learned. Thanks George, your mark was left with me, Rest in Peace Big man.
