Sqn Ldr Neville Duke

Header says it all.

Duke was famous for, among other things, holding the world air speed record.
In 1953 he achieved 727.63 mph flying a Hawker Hunter.

I met Sqn Ldr Neville Duke at RIAT last year, what a fine man !

I am sure many on here and in the aviation fraternity would like to pass on sincere Condolences.

I for one will drink a toast this evening to a TRUE Flying legend !
