What a sad loss
Hairy Eng that was your finest piece of writing. He was the boy.
I never actually flew with Whitto but we were pilot contemporaries since I joined the Nimrod Force back in '83. He will be sadly missed.
The funeral is on Wednesday but Linda has asked for a relatively private affair and we will respect that.
If you wish to send a condolence card e-mail me direct and I will give you the address rather than publish it here.
We will put together a Memorial Service after Easter probably at Halton for accessibilty to say farewell to a fine man and a great friend.
RIP
