Gone West
« on: June 05, 2016, 11:38:11 AM »
My dad passed this morning. After a tough day I couldnt think of a better place to come to unwind. As always, thank you Des for providing this sanctuary and to all the members of this form, I know many of us have never met, be assured your projects bring me great joy and your beautiful flying machines inspire.

Sorry for your loss...
I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes. I saw him go into a fairly steep dive and so I continued to watch, and then saw the triplane hit the ground and disappear into a thousand fragments...James McCudden

Thinking of you, Steve; as difficult as it is dwell on the good times and memories and take the time to honour them.

My condolences to you and your family. Let the good memories shine through as they surely will, even though at the moment that will be difficult to do.

Stephen.
