I only had the pleasure of knowing AJ from his Kudos days, joined the company with no interest in helicopters whatsoever, something he managed to change with his stories and even as a fixed wing jockey I could see the raw skill the man possessed behind the sticks.
Can still picture him sat in the VIP lounge, custard tart in one hand tele remote in the other watching re-runs of Sharpe, shouting 'where's ma money?!' those who knew him at that time can no doubt relate!
My thoughts are with Angie and the family at this time, and as so many before have mentioned the world is a duller place without this charismatic gentleman.
Show those angels some real flying AJ. Rest In Peace.
