I cannot believe this awful news. One of the nicest guys I ever met and quite possibly the finest pilot I ever flew with. A hugely talented RAF flying instructor and test pilot and his passing will be an enormous loss to the world of vintage aviation.
I remember a TSU Nav describing a sortie with him on a RAFG TACEVAL in the late 80s as the most tactically aware pilot he had ever flown with. Never flew the track for more than a few seconds, never came out of the valleys and hit every target to the second.
Condolences to his family, the team at Shuttleworth and his many friends..

With a little thought you might realise a lot of folk on here know a lot of folk on the display circuits, many of whom are ex military colleagues. Sadly having seen Post 5 perhaps you can now see you were a little hasty about moving the thread.

Glad I only put it up because I assumed the family had been informed... So sad.

>DM insensitively quick [imo] at naming fatality.<
agreed, but you missed off ' as usual'
following the debacle of the Reds 2nd accident i had hoped they would learn. evidently not...as usual.
A sad day.
