He did see both run I’m glad to say, and indeed presided over several runs.

Very sad news.
Did he get to see the Dakota running? I can’t recall if it is finished and I think the intention was to taxi it?

I understand the aircraft had run up with both engines the day the sad news came that he had passed away .Not sur eif he saw both running.
