I remember

Remember this crash well as I was sat at Hurn Airport awaiting his arrival as he was due in to clear customs. At the time he was one of my hero’s and I had never seen a casa 2-111 before. The op’s chappie came out late afternoon to say his arrival was cancelled as the plane had crashed and the crew had been killed, and I was devastated. It was a bad year for Aviation personalities with Neil, Doug Bianchi and later, Ormond Haydon Baillie all going within a year or two, and if I remember rightly, Neil Williams had not been married very long and his wife was with him on that fateful day.(what I was told at the time)……….A very bad time, but all these people had an influence on my life. So thank you guy’s..
