RIP Neil

[pitonga]

Opened the FOIP this morning and saw his name and picture. I felt I was stubbed right in my chest.
What a gentleman, fly high Neil, it was a pleasure to share the front seats with you...

Awful news, and right before Christmas as well.

[White Knight]

Yep. Terrible to hear about and indeed a great guy to fly with; both when I was an F/O and then much later on ULRs as skippers together!

Blue skies NG.

RIP old mate. Could not believe the news when I heard it. We'd just ridden together at Meydan a few weeks ago and he was as fit as I've ever seen him.
20+ plus years of squabbling and being the best of mates. Guess you won't carve our Xmas turkey anymore - we will miss you and raise a glass (or three) on the 25th and every year after.

Had tired the sun with talking and sent him down the sky"

RIP my old friend. A source of much knowledge, teller of astounding jokes, and as fascinated with things as I.
You will be sorely missed.

The world is a much better place because of your visit and much reduced for your leaving.
Will miss you in the quiet moments.
“As we slip the surely bonds...”

[TOGA!]

May the Wind always be at your back!


A super guy who is gone way too early.
