Jane and I knew the Blee family at Wyton (I ran Handbrake House). In my time I have also been an RAF pilot, and ACLO, a VR(T) Officer and a CCF cadet. We were both so sad to hear of the death of Mike and his pupil. Mike was at his best passing on his enthusiasm and love for flying in all its aspects. He and Beverlie were also great company (don't mention the fondue night!). Our sincerest condolences to both families - we raised a glass or two with friends on Tuesday. So sadly accidents do happen, but hopefully no one will suggest stopping AEF air experience flying.
