I worked with Dick during the 85/86 cropspraying season when he was working for Bond flying Hiller 12E's. I remember us shooting at floating bottles one summer in what can only be described as a toxic chemical lagoon at Metheringham.
Last time I saw him was at Strubby probably in 1986 flying a Soloy 12E.
Odd in a way as I was only thinking about him a week or two ago, specifically his accident.
