Very sad news. I well remember Arthur Carvell sending me off on my first powered solo in one of Yeadon Aviation's Tiger Moths in summer 1957 off the grass triangle and quite a few trips up there from Little Snoring in Magisters and Proctors. Most of the latter for the annual competition day between the local club and the Newcastle Aero Club. The overall winner got the "Knight's Gauntlet" and the duffer got the "Black Mark". Halcyon days indeed. Tempus fugit.
