Hugh,
Please accept my sincerest condolences. As I said, it was a great pleasure to know your father, even slightly and briefly, and I am sure his loss is very keenly felt. Not many students stick in my memory, and even fewer for the pleasure that their names gave on the booking sheet, in anticipation of an uproarious time in the sky to come. And on that, your father delivered in spades. I'm glad he was able to share his passion with you, it must have been a thrill for him too, and I sense he was adept at finding thrilling things to do.
Sincere best wishes to all your family, and sorry for getting the marque wrong. All I can say in my defence is that I was more looking forward to seeing the driver than the car.
