I was saddened by the tragic news the other day, particularly at the loss of those young lives, but to hear that it was Hylton is just devastating
I knew Hylton from our time on 92 Sqn and flew with him many times. He was An Officer and a Gentleman in every way. A good man and a fine aviator.
I saw how he handled the approach end barrier incident at Wildnrath in 1980 showing flying skills and airmanship of the highest order; for him to lose his life in this way is just heart breaking
Rest in Peace Old Chap and you will be sorely missed. The world is a sadder place this evening.
