Some of you may know Ian from his time in the Army Air Corps. He was killed yesterday in the crash of a Twin Squirrel G-XCEL. There is a thread on Rotorheads here (http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=110843).

I served with Ian on many occassions, including GW1, he was an outstanding pilot, instructor and gentleman.

He will be missed by many in Army Aviation and a great loss to his family particularly at this time of year.

I was deeply saddened at the tragic news of Ian and his passengers. My thoughts are with family and friends of those who perished in the accident.
I flew with Ian in the 90’s when he was part of Army Standards, he was part of the team who, at the time were fun to be “trapped” by. I don’t think that group of standards has been bettered since.
A sad loss.
