As a close friend and colleague of the pilot I have been asked by his immediate family to inform the aviation world of his identity. It is with great sadness that I do so. His full name is Anthony Joseph Smith, but will be remembered by all those who knew him simply as ‘AJ’. He was a true legend, once met never forgotten and I know many of you will have your stories and anecdotes to tell. Although he told it like it was, he had a heart of gold and adored his family. He was one of the best pilots I have ever had the privilege of working with and was a very loyal friend. He will be missed terribly by everyone who knew him. RIP mate.
