Tony Clarke.
I too have very fond memories of Tony.
I bought my first helicopter (R22) from Mike Wilds at Skyline.
Included in the price was instruction.
I remember seeing Tony in his office lambasting some poor student and thinking to myself "God, I hope I don't get him as an instructor", but I did. It was one of the most fortuitous things to have happened to me.
Not only was Tony a fantastic instructor he was a brilliant ranconteur.
Going solo for the first time was a frightening experience. All my flights up until that time were with Tony, and I did not appreciate just how light the R22 would be without him on board. I scared myself senseless when I raised the collective and went like a champagne cork out of a bottle to 200feet plus, in the blink of an eye. He knew that was going to happen but he didn't warn me the rotten b*****d.
God Bless you Tony your memories will live on.
