I too wish FL well in his new role, but am filled with deep regret that he will no longer be able to act in defence of those aviators that will found themselves in the courts in future, as he has done in such a distinguished way for so long.
His loss as a highly respected defender of those who participate in our chosen interest will be very deeply felt by some, including me and a particular acquaintance.
My hope is that there are more like him, with a similar firm commitment to seeing the law applied wisely, fairly and in the public interest in the sphere of aviation that will rise up to take his place.
Tudor, if you are reading this, as I am sure you must be, then please accept my heartfelt thanks for all you have done.

PS: I hope that you've still given up the smokes, too - you know it makes sense.............
