Really sad to hear about Ian. Only spoke to him once on the telephone, but he sounded full of the joys of aviation. They are too few people like him in this game...it's a tough business and it sometimes gets to people.
He spent some time telling me about the C172 that got trashed (sorry tale...) and he was just getting a HR200 up and running, which is a fun little plane.
I sincerely hope that you get the DFC back on-line as quick as possible.
