Des O'Driscall ... that's a name I haven't heard for a while , he was a top bloke :ok:

I can't believe it has been ten years already since Des passed away. There have been countless occasions when I have been grateful for the high standard to which he taught me. When I am instructing I only hope to acheive the same.

He was the greatest teacher of all things flying and also taught me a lot about life.

I can't make it on Saturday but Dad is going for me. Des did his commercial and he retired after 8 thousand odd hours with no safety related accidents/incidents.

Safe flying to all those attending. Best wishes to Fiona and family.
