Unhappy Mr Peter Rainey

I've just seen on the UK 10 o'clock news about the tragic death of Mr Peter Rainey and his wife in a dingy accident in Cyprus. I believe Mr Rainey is a former Royal Navy helicopter pilot who ran a company teaching night flying in Scotland.

I was especially saddened to see their utterly traumatised nine-year-old son, who was also in the dingy, being wheeled through assembled press outside the hospital in Paphos.

I understand they also leave a six-year-old daughter who witnessed the event.

I don't normally come to this part of PPRuNe as I’m fixed wing and I don't know the family, but I wanted to express my condolences on this forum to the family, friends and colleagues of Mr Rainy and his family.
