Goodbye Art
Art was as you say Sas, was one hell of guy, pilot, drinker and friend, had the pleasure or of working with him, partying with him, and dragging his motorbike out of the odd ditch and fixing it for him, flying with him for ten years or more, as an engineer I morn his passing as a friend I cry.
An Art funny;-
When I was in the Royal Naval Hospital Haslar with ceribal malaria Art came to visit, threw a box of Cadbury's dairy milk on the bed and said 'here's yer f--kin chocolates, then tried to persuade the matron that because he was ex-navy that he should be allowed to take me to the pub for a drink!, she explained in language that Art could not mistake!, so we walk around the grounds with a 'minder' in tow to make certain we didn't do a runner.
R.I.P. Art my friend
