Just heard. Very sad news.
Knew Dick for a few years in the early seventies when he was Chief Engineer at CSE, Oxford.
I was instructing at OATS and he always had the time to help if I had a tech.query I couldn't fathom.
I was fortunate enough to bump into him once more when I flew into Bicester last year. His memory was still as sharp as a needle. A sad loss of a fine man.
