The poor chap who died was a very experienced serving pilot in the RAF. Spent many enjoyable hours flying with him around the world, including an impromptu light aircraft vs. car 'Top Gear' challenge between San Diego and 'Vegas a few years ago. A good friend who'll be missed by all who knew him and flew with him. Had a few glasses of our favourite 'detachment wine' in his honour on Saturday night. RIP mate.
