The news now reported on BBC and the impending MOD news conf is sad news indeed. My condolences to the family.
I can't believe that the 2nd post on this thread gave such good news. People REALLY should learn not to post anything until they know the absolute truth.
I've seen it happen in ops as well - and it's soul destroying to all concerned. Lets not have rumour and speculation and mis-reporting.
RIP and I'll raise a glass in your memory tonight.
