I was fortunate enough to meet him late last year, a very pleasant if brief chat, he was also good enough to sign a picture of Canopus the RAE Comet for me, it had already been signed by the crew that took him on its last in service trip before retirement. If that crew read this (or anyone points them this way), he commented on how much he had enjoyed that last flight in a Comet. He was also one of those whose story got me interested in aviation, I've now done nearly 20 years in the industry. Thank you, and RIP Mr Cunningham.
