He was a regular participant with Cliff Robertson’s Spit at Hamilton, London and Toronto airshows in the 70’s and 80’s. Saw him many times. Great performer in a lovely aircraft, much missed (both!)
RIP Gerry
Thanks for posting

I first met and flew with Jerry in the early 1970’s.
Always game for a laugh.
