One of the greats, who had achieved ten times more (and probably had ten times more fun) than most of us could ever hope to in our lifetimes, a man who has done huge amounts for aviation over an incredibly long time - and was clearly still flying at the age of 84. I'm left with deepest respect, and a great regret that I never had the privilege of knowing the man myself.
One sincerely hopes that nobody else was hurt in his accident, and of-course it's sad that such a great man is taken from us too soon, but I can't help feeling that there are far worse ways that such a great test pilot could have gone.
