I have PMd you! Jim even at 78 was like a man 20 years younger with a amazing enthusiasm for flying and life.

A kinder more colourful or more genuine guy you would not find. I believe at his age of 78 he did 30 plus ferries in the last couple of years in stuff I would not dream of Ferrying or have the courage to ferry.

He loved those trips and his attitude to warnings was "if thats the way I am supposed to go so be it!".

I have lost a good friend and an inspiration in more than just flying.
