For Nathan
Many, many thanks for your warm words Nathan ... so very much appreciated ... and to take on a more serious note.
As some pruners will know, and as I prepare to retire from helicopter aviation, I like to put my thoughts into words and see other pilots and rotary aviation people become involved in the more contentious aspects of rotary handling. But coping with the loss of my son and later his mum, became the most difficult thing I've had to tackle in my lifetime and in forty years working in this sometimes mad industry. At the time I received so much support from the guys and a few gals out there I've known and often flown with. I'm not even sure I ever formally thanked you all ... something I want to do now. In the nicest way ... I love you all.
But with glass in our hand, let's get back to the main thread ... who's for a jaunty autorotation or two? DRK.
