Morbid thread.....and not something one cares to dwell on too much, but it does make one reflect and hopefully remember the best of those no longer with us who probably have a similar passion to ours for flying.
Many will know Glen of soloflight, who tragicly passed. He gave me a couple of lessons while briefly in Lincolnshire, which I shall always remember.
Sadly in December 2007, our Aeroclub instructor of many years, Eric Pradeau, committed suicide at his house and was found by Aeroclub members only when he didnt come to the club for a lesson. Though probably not known to Ppruners, he introduced hundreds here in France to the joys of flight, and will be remembered by many.
