Kris was one of my students on Wales UAS. I'm very sad that he has lost his life in such a tragic way.
I will remember him as dedicated pilot who always strived to improve his performance.
My sincere condolences to his family, colleagues and friends, on behalf of all Red Dragons.

My condolences to family, friends and colleagues.
Although i'm AAC I knew Kris from NI and Iraq. I have fond memories of him at Omagh whilst spending many 48 hours duties together in the TSW shack. His crew-room banter was well on par and will be sorely missed.
Deeply gutted for all.

A fella you could always count on to give you a grin.
A guy who was always there with hepful tips for us younger members of UWAS.
A true Red Dragon if ever there was one.
My sincere sympathies to his family, friends and close colleagues.

Devastated to hear the news. A lovely man, with such a refreshing balance between his job and the rest of his life.
Another good friend lost.
Condolences to bereaved family.
I am really at a loss for words....

I flew with Kris during his time with the Tigers.
Such a nice guy, who always had time for others- even if he was chin-strapped. Words fail you FFP, but I'm sure you'll remember that if there's one thing that Kris was never short of, it was the old 'chat'.

I didn't know Kris, but I can feel for his family and friends. It's always a sad day when you lose someone you work with, more especially in the Forces, where we go through so much, with camaraderie to hold us together to get the job done.
My thoughts tonight are with the rotary world...
RiP my fellow flier.

Hats off here...head bowed....saying a prayer for him and his family. I hope I have as many good things said about me when I go as he did. Sounds like quite a guy! Makes the loss all the greater.
