Hi everyone,
I am a total new comer to this site but have known about you all for a long time through a close friend, Kev35. This now brings me to he point of saying what a shock you have all had regarding the tragic death of your friend Steve. I have been reading all your messages and to be honest i have been in tears. He was loved so much by you all, so I hope this will help his family a little knowing how highly he was thought of. and to know he will never be forgotten, and as time passes you will be able to smile and say “remember when Steve”
My regards to you all,
Chris xx

Chris, a very touching post, I hope this isn’t a one off visit to the forum and that, even under so horrible a set of circumstances, you will stay and become a contributor yourself if you have an interest in avaition. Welcome to the forum!
Steve

welcome to you leleese, and it was indeed our honour to have contact with such a special person such as steve. Whilst not a massive contributor to the forum, even I was touched by his utter devotion to his son and his enthusiasm for the historic aircraft which we all enjoy here. Many of us will never forget the helpful advice and funny anecdotes that he imparted to us all. No matter what we do here, Steve will always be with all of us. I went down the pub last night and raised my pint of Spitfire silently to him. He deserved it.
