My favorite Robbie pilot has flown West

I never got to fly with him, but my brother did years ago.
Dr Jack Leonard, who last I heard lived in Findon, has slipped the surly bonds of earth.
I went to school with his two sons. A fine man.
He took my brother flying in his Robinson (back in the 80's, I think it was an R22) around Sussex.
My brother still talks about it.

I am guessing that a few of you will have known him, given how people form networks around common interests. Not sure when he last flew, as I've not seen him in years.

That’s sad. Jack was a lovely guy and will be missed. I worked for him for many years.
