To echo the sentiments on Norman. He was a really good man. I knew him for many years during his time as a co-pilot with Dan-Air on the 727. I was privileged enough to fly a number of times with him in his T-6 and when, after the demise of DA, he flew traffic work over London. That was in a Partenavia 68 and a Twin Squirrel. He was a hugely accomplished pilot, being a Falklands veteran on the Seaking, and turned his hand to anything. I recall the Sea Fury ferry he flew across the pond and finished up with a run and break at LGW for all us ground crew. He flew many types, including the Spitfire, the P-51, the Harvard and the L-39. May he rest in peace and his wife, Anna, rest her soul too. RR
