As I spoke to Colin on a regular basis through my job ( he rarely flew any distance without speaking to ATC...how many of you hover jocky's can say that? )......I once asked a friend of his, a fellow motor racer on 2 wheels not 4 and a fellow helicopter pilot what Colin was like in the Air as to me he always seemed crazy in a car.....the response was that the opposite was the case.....never never took a risk in the air and was meticulous in his planning.....to this day I honestly believed that .
One thing for sure we will never know the real facts that caused the accident but for sure Scotland lost a real legend in that accident.
My thoughts and best wishes go out to the families involved and I sincerely hope that finally people will respect and appreciate the joy that Colin brought to so many that followed his career.
