I had the honor of a day with the Reds back in Feb this year, and spend some time chatting with Flt Lt. Jon Egging.
I had expected the reds to be the ultimate 'Nigels', but they were the soundest, nicest, most passionate people I've met so far in this business.
This news has knocked me back a bit, he was such a good bloke. The aviation world is a poorer place.
Rest in Peace
