I mourn the loss of one of UK aviation's characters.
When I did my sim assessment for Orion mannnny moons ago, Tony was running his 125 sim at STN. I had just gone around from the ILS preparing to do the NDB when the Orinon TC announced that the ride was over. He and the other Orion pilot got out and left me gathering up my things. I must have looked a bit shocked at the "premature" end of my ride but as I turned to get out of the seat Tony gave me a big smile and a "thumbs up". I will never forget that act of kindness.
I even forgive him for being in cahoots with the CAA during the AE course. The man with a thousand voices on the R/T indeed!
You will be mised by many Tony.
Rest in Peace.
