Likewise, have just heard the shocking news on the TV. Flew with Steve many times over the years including Somalia back in 1993. What a really nice guy, professional operator and a true gent. Deepest sympathies to his family.

Shocking.
I worked with him for many year at Lyneham a while back. A very pleasant, professional and likeable chap.
R.I.P.
Codolences to all his family, friends and colleagues at this tragic turn of events.

Dreadful News
Steve and I were crewed up together for 4 months at Port Stanley Airfield in '84. I shall never forget the way he looked after me and the 3 other guys throughout a very hard time. His cheerful, can-do attitude set an example for all of us to follow. He would diligently sit for many hours in the back of our Herc tanker over the S Atlantic watching the 4 boiler gauges in the internal tanks go down, ensuring that I was immediately info'd of anything unusual. On the ground, in PSA and Ascension, his propensity to acquire creature comforts for the crew was something to behold. We'd be sitting in a portacabin on QRA feeling a bit peckish and Steve would open his bag and produce, in his words, "A fresh tin of strawberries", procurred from an army pantry on the promise of a flight in Albert (which was always honoured). What a guy! He was the most professional ALM I ever flew with and I am completely horrified and saddened by this awful news. My thoughts are with his family. If anyone knows when/where the funeral will be held, I would be most grateful to be info'd of the details.

It's Not Right!
What a great shame. Overtorque and I only saw Steve a few weeks back when he visited the station. He was talking about retirement - locksmithing, wasn't it?
We both flew many trips with him and really enjoyed his company. There was always a smile.
Our thoughts are with his family.

Shocking news - absolutely shocking. I've happy memories of working with Steve, both in the air and on the ground. He was one of the good guys.
My heartfelt condolences go out to those affected. What a tragic event.
