So sad
First met Candles and his fellow course mate Rojats when they arrived bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in Cold Lake in 2001 as the very first RAF trainees to embark on the NFTC Programme. Between them, they set the bar for their successors, and in every respect they set it high. A pleasure to have been witness to the early beginnings of Candles' very successful career, tragically cut too short.
My sincere condolences to his family and close friends.
