Jim Beaton RIP
Jim Beaton was the CFI at Glasgow Flying Club in the 60's when I got my PPL. He sent me on my first solo.
He was a great aviator and example to all his students.
I remember him talking about diverting to West Freugh in a PA 28 in heavy icing at night. He made it seem so 'normal'
Another time the canopy flew off the aircraft (Tipsy Nipper) and struck the tailplaine. Jim force landed in a field - no problem.
So sorry to hear of his death.
