I know its not military, but how awful. With his little boy too.

Yeah, know what you mean, apparently Colin was on board (according to a relative). Thinking of his wife, children and relatives, RIP.

Very sad.
Awesome driver and always came over as a nice guy.

I met Colin many times together with his father Jimmy as we watched TVR Tuscan races in which he took part. My thoughts are with them this Sunday if this dreadful news turns out to be true.

Tragic if it's true. An outstanding driver with a great sense of humour.

Hi Guys;

Sorry to be off-topic etc etc.

Colin was a fine guy and will be sorely missed.
Condolences to his surviving wife and daughter at their massive loss.

I was just an admirer of his awesome talent...

Again apologies for the OT-ness of this post.

MOG:(
