Your Father was a very very good friend of mine for many years and worked for me at GSM helicopters near Ripon . I spent many many a night at your house and Jed Paton ( engineer ) . We flew together a lot and had a huge amount of fun as well . I remember him very well burning up the track to the hangar in his Saab !!!! How is your Mother ? If you say Nigel she will know exactly who you mean !! Your dad was a truly great pilot who taught me more than anyone else and i miss him very much . PM me if you want to know any more ...i have lots of stories , some of which you will have seen here ..like 5 pax and an alsation in/on my Bell 47 !!!!
