RIP
Very sad news indeed!
Mike was my first instructor on the HP7 Ab Initio Commercial Helicopter course at Redhill in 1976, flying the Hiller 12b & c then on to the Bell 47G2.
Several years later, in May 1983, Mike and I shared the cockpit of an S76A for several weeks flying Margaret Thatcher and her entourage around the country during her first re-election campaign. We also flew together on many occasions out of Aberdeen in the venerable old S61N. He was always great company, both at work and socially, and I always felt in safe hands whenever I flew with him.
I have the greatest of respect for Mike's professionalism and patience and owe a great deal to him for helping me reach my goal of gaining my rotary wings.
My sincere condolences to Mike's family.
Brian
