    I have compiled 205 pages of the book of condolences, one posting per page. I must admit it is a real eye opener reading through the various messages and thoughts, it really sums up what a character Steve was/is.

    I will print off on good quality paper, have bound and forward to his family as soon as possible.

    Some of you have signed off your messages with just your forum handle, if you would like me to include your name and maybe location please let me know.

    I would also ask if you have any photos of Steve, could I use them to illustrate the book as well. Please email them (any file size) to me at
    en830(At)jerseymail.co.uk.

    i agree Daz, totally. and i know its early but how about some way of remembering him, a permenant remilder, say at Duxford or old warden. dedicating a bench or some such?. i’d give some coin towards that for sure.

    A few of us have talked this over this afternoon, the general consensus is to leave this for a while, let the dust settle and get our minds and thoughts together.

    Well said, Bruce.

    Here’s one brick sh1thouse in Croydon who’s not embarassed to say that he’s cried buckets since lunchtime.

    You and me both mate, fighting back the tears reading through all of these tributes.

    Gentlemen, if you have a glass with no matter what in, please raise it in salute to Steve Young, a friend, a colleague one hell of a human being.

    Gone but not forgotten

    Here are a few from Legends Sunday, funny how at the time Mark and I debated whether we should go up with Steve or take a rain check and go onto Legends. We made the right choice, how did we know then that we wouldn’t get to repeat the trip next year.

    With the permission of everyone present, I would like to copy this thread and turn it into a bound book of condolences for Jule’s, Hayden and Steve’s family.

    Weren’t there some pictures of him flying a group of forumites posted.

    If memory serves he looked pretty happy doing what he enjoyed so much.

    Can anybody dig one up and re-post it please?

    Moggy

    I have them at home and will post them tonight.

    As his legend said Life. Live it, love it. He certainly did :-

    Words fail me I can only agree with what Mark has said.

    Steve, you will be sorely missed by all those you touchedou.

    My sincere condolences to Jules, Hadyn and Steves Family.

    I hope that you will join with me at 8 pm tonight, raise your glass to salute a great person and a friend. Take time out to read back through his posts.

    Did you see any of the Canberras at Wyton? (excluding the Gate Guardian) Shame to see them got waste like that.

    No we were too high, and it was a bit hazy.

    Thank you, I wouldn’t have a clue. Steve did call them out, but I forgot which was which.

    JF was no 3 Squadron wasn’t it, so could this be the personal mount of a certain Free French fighter ace ?

    At first I thought the one bottom left was Watton, but I don’t think it is now. It does look familiar though.

    Alconbury was one of them, but in which order it came is beyond me, we were travelling that fast

    And 434 was coincidentally the number of people who got their meal before you!!! 😉

    He wasn’t worried, he showed his bus pass and got the special OAP omelette with extra Sanatogen.

    I always think there is something incredibly pleasing on the eye about airfields taken from the air…the layout of the place…but then I am also so sad that I spot squadron codes in vehicle number plates…someone please tell me I am not the only person who does this…

    Nurse!

    I see J609 most mornings on my way to work attached to a 206 convertable, driven by a blonde, and think of Snapper, it’s sad I know, why would a blonde make me think of Snapper ?????????
