I was greatly saddened to learn that he had passed away.
I first met him when I was on the Concorde conversion course at Filton, and he could not have been more helpful or supportive, a true gentleman.
A great favourite with Concorde crews, both past and present, on both sides of the Channel, he was an entertaining after-dinner speaker, and a staunch supporter of Concorde, particularly after the events of last July.
He was truly one of the great ones of aviation.
My deepest sympathies to his wife and family.
Bellerophon.
