In 1986 Cliff did my check flight at Cardiff at the end of my Flying Scholarship course, I seem to remember that during the flight he passed some ridiculous number of hours with lots of zeros on the end airborne.
Even though I only spent four weeks in his company (and just one flight) I remember him still after nearly twenty years, I also remember many of his stories - a great number of which I am still telling. He was the type of pilot that I aspired to be then and still do now; also a wonderful, memorable man.
My heatfelt condolences.
