Sad that an iconic pioneer has left this Earthfor the great airfield in the sky. Be joyful that this man has made a contribution to our profession and field of endeavour. There are few men and woman who have give so much to our industry and allowed individuals to find their own potential as humans. For this, we are grateful. Aviation is an incredible social leveller. Aviation does not care if you are rich or poor. It does not care what school you went to. The industry assesses each of us largely according to our ability. You cannot bull**** your workmates that you are better than you are. Jim was one of these blokes you allowed the young pilot with the fire in their belly to be given a go. He was an example of the old school and will be sorely missed.
