I read the article in a certain aviation newspaper that arrived at work today about the sad loss.
He seemed to be an amazing man and a great asset to this country and anyone who would want to learn to fly would truly be inspired by him.
Strangley his face was so so familiar and I could not put my finger on it until they showed a picture of him as a younger man with the racing driver Graham Hill and that is where I recognised him from. My father was a great follower of the his team in the 1960's
The pictures were taken in 1967.
Very very sad for the industry to lose someone that will be held in high esteem, my symapthies to his family who have had to sustain another loss and at a poignant time in the year.
