I recall it well. As his Flt Cdr I flew with Off/Cdt Mom*** on 24 Oct 73, and recommended his suspension from further training. In those days, protocol required that the foreign student then had to fly a 'confirmatory' trip with the Sqn Cdr.This took place on a dank Friday, and included a manual GCA approach to Shawbury - during which the T7 'dived' into a wood some two miles short of the runway. The subsequent BoI, which I was a part of, found that there was nothing to suggest that there was a fault with the aircraft. We were all left to draw our own conclusions. RIP Ron - lovely man.
