I had the privilege of flying with Cpt Bedford in 2002 @ Helicopter Adventures in titusville FL, where I was on a jaa commercial course.
I still remember doing engine off landings with him where he would take control of the aircraft just before the flare!!
Very good pilot indeed, & i'm sure he will be deeply missed by all who had the opprtunity or the luck to fly with him.
I wish you and Yuko all the best and many happy years in France
