I was truly shocked when I received an email from Compton Abbas (where I am based) about Nigel's untimely death. He was a great guy and was the Examiner who passed me on my PPL Skills test about 10 years ago - a day I will never forget, mainly because of Nigel's good humour and understanding in what was, for me, a highly stressful time.
My sincere condolences to his nearest and dearest - I will miss his excellent humour, advice, freindship and the occasional cadged roll-up when my baccie ran out.
A good man.
