I am so saddened to hear of Tony's passing.

Many years ago, he was the man operating the HS 125 Simulator at STN on my IRE course. I considered it a privilege to be on that course.

But moreso, it was a great honour to have experienced Tony Angel!

The way he operated the Sim, his realistic renditions of ATC and of other aircraft, his injection of humour just exactly when it was needed, his wealth of knowledge, and the way he missed absolutely nothing of what was going-on in the sim, was truely wonderful. He provided just the right atmosphere for such a gruelling two-weeks, and was a true proponent of the teaching and use of of that little-used-and-taught skill... Airmanship.

The passing of one of the "Greats" in aviation.

Thank-you, Tony. It was a real pleasure.

Condolances to your many friends and family.
