First met Alex at CUAS in '94 where, to my mind, he had the correct focus on flying and having a good time; regrettably his college tutors didn't share this enthusiasm.
The T&E world brought us together again and he had lost none of the humour or talent and I always enjoyed flying with him.
I am gutted by his loss and the Service will be a poorer place without him. My thoughts are with his family.
