Neil Williams - 40 years ago today (11/12/77)
Can't believe that it's 40 years since Neil Williams died. I remember reading the "missing" item in the Daily Telegraph followed by the bad news several days later.
I only saw him fly several aircraft at two airshows and possibly a Sunday afternoon practice in his Jungmann at Farnborough.
I re-read Airborne periodically (the updated and enlarged copy) and I'll bet I'm not the only non-pilot who has a copy of Aerobatics!
Wonder what he would have gone on to achieve if he'd lived - a big part of the scene at Duxford I'd imagine.
