For the many people who know Nigel Pitcher, flying instructor and aviation character, please see the notice of his untimely death in the Military Aircrew forum.
http://www.pprune.org/military-aircr...tcher-rip.html Nigel was my main PPL instructor at Bournemouth in 2001. He showed me what flying had to offer and inspired me to continue learning. He will be sadly missed.
