Such sad news
When I heard of the crash in the Mournes, I was shocked when the name was released. I knew AJ from about 1983 when I was a sprog QHI on Advanced Rotary at Wallop. Always a consummate professional with a sharp wit and a quick putdown to idiots, but a man who was always approachable by those he taught. No-one who ever heard him on the RT ever needed to hear his callsign to know it was him. A very sad loss to aviation, I'm not able to make the funeral but will raise a glass in his memory.
