Only just heard that "Chippo " has moved on to that great holding pattern in the sky. He will be missed.
"Another one bites the dust " ; :sad:

The same age as me, and far too young. RIP
Sad news indeed! Knew Chippo at Wattisham where we flew the Lightning! I’m sure he will be sadly missed by all his family and friends. Fly high and fast Old Mate!

Flew three enjoyable ACT trips with Martin in the Tonka in early '85. That was about as good as it got at TWCU! Martin Chip, thanks for your help!
RIP.

Right out of the blue.
I can only vouch for 1972-2011 but Chippo was a true gent.

I had the great pleasure of doing some of Martin's training when he joined CX. He was a star. Very capable, read and understood 'the books', and had a disarming smile whenever I made any comments. A great guy.

Very sad news. I only knew Martin at CX and, as others before have said, he was always a true gent. Condolences to his family.
Blue skies Martin.

Not sure if I knew him, but if he flew Jaguars he must have been good :) RIP Martin.
