What a terrible loss!
 

Fishy.......a wonderful friend and probably the finest aviator I've ever met! You're smile, you're humour and you're wonderful personality will be missed by everyone you touched. My thoughts and condolences go out to Anna and to all your family. RIP, God Bless & farewell old friend, we'll never forget you....Windy & Kath

Very sad news - I have not seen him for years but he was 'one of the characters' that you do not forget and the FAA respects so highly.

A real gentleman aviator and a good friend, Fishy, you will be sorely missed. 'Only the good die young..' - never a truer word fella.

Rest in Piece matey,

Please find attached a message from Dave's family. They have been watching the site with great interest. Thank you.
“The family were overwhelmed by all of your comments on the forum website, and it was wonderful to meet so many of you after David’s funeral. Your support has given us all a tremendous lift, as did your fly past. We feel so proud that you should have honoured him in that way. We have always thought of him as one of the best and your comments acknowledge that you appreciated him in the same way. On behalf of Roger and Anna and the family, thank you so much.
