Oh that’s sad news. Chris was one of a number of instructors who carried out my ab initio training at Skyline Helicopters at Wycombe Air Park in 1989-90. He was such a calm, easy-going instructor, with oodles of patience and he naturally inspired confidence.

Very sorry to hear that. Chris and I were on D Squadron together in the mid 1980s; a really nice guy.

That's sad news. Chris was my instructor at 705 back in 1981; I couldn't have wished for a better start to my helicopter flying career.

RIP, Chris.
I met Chris a few times whilst working alongside he and his crew. I didn't know him well, but he always appeared to be a complete gentleman.
