I am hoping and praying these are not 2 blokes I knew very well.

Although this is a terrible time for any loss (when is an ok time?) it is always so much worse when you know the lads concerned. Happens all too often in this job.

RIP fellas and sincerest condolences to the families of those lost.

RIP and sincere condolences - found out last night it was an old school friend, we were in the CCF RAF Section together.

There but for the grace of God.

Terribly sad to read of this, can't really add to what has already been said apart from offering condolences to those affected.

Ditto. Knew him well from his previous time at ISK - couldn't want for a smarter or well liked bloke. What a sad loss. Heartfelt thoughts to his family and loved ones.
