Sad Loss - Flt Lt N Rees
A fine turnout yesterday to pay repects to a devastated family. The courage shown by ######## as his world was laid to rest at his feet was inspiring.
Well done young man. You always did make your parents proud to be your parents.

Truly sorry to hear this from other side of world at a later time. Condoloences to all involved and the loss of a truly funny man at 45(R).

I have just heard the dreadful news of the death of Nev, Karen and Andrew. Truly awful news. What can anyone say to express what a totally devastating event it must be for his remaining son. My heart and sympathies go out to him, and all of Nevs and Karens family.
I was on the same BFTS course as Nev and I remember the fun loving guy, who was always there if you needed a chat or a laugh, or a quick beer. We both got massively drunk in York the day we both failed Spin Aeros on the JP3. Happy days.
I was chopped soon after, but I saw Nev again at Finningley while he was going through his METS course, and spent many happy hours chatting and talking about flying, his desire to go and fly the Hercules and of Karen.
I haven't seen, or spoken, to Nev for a few years now, but the shock is still there when you here how awful the accident was. My thanks to the RAF Cranwell services who tried to help in what must have been a truly awful scene.
I would like to back up the words of Tigs2. I hope that the RAF pulls out all the stops in its attempt to try and help Nev and Karens remaining Son. His Father and Mother were truly great parents and the RAF should do there very very best to make sure that he is supported and looked after. Be strong. I know you Mum and Dad would be very proud of you.
To Nev, Karen and Andrew. I will drink a large whisky to you all tonight. Yet another dent in my ever decreasing supply. RIP Friends.
