Very sad indeed. I first met Paul when he started up Warbirds Worldwide and still have every issue and the Specials. And a signed book on Pauls favourite subject, Mustang Survivors, which he signed for me at Biggin Hill in 1987.

I remember well the small Warbirds Worldwide ‘convention’ he organised in the officers mess at Duxford in June 1989 and the talk by Anders Saether on his A26.
Then we got our own private airshow.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Geoff,

Quite probable, especially if location is Blackbushe.

Gorgeous George-Ann was 151632, 151863 was Big Bad Bonnie, 151790 was Amazing Andrea, not sure about Brenda’s Boys & Marvellous Miriam

‘George-Ann was in reality N9494Z/ G-BWGR latterly of Sandtoft fame.

Anyone got [I]’Mitchells do fly in IMC’[/I]…?

Yes Dave, I’ve got it on Video and DVD. Do you want a copy?

Just quickly before you go. What Mk is it, how big is it and what colour is it. I may be completely up the wrong tree but I keep seeing an Indian connection?

The company I work for are doing the instruments at the moment (and for the RR Spit XIX and some for the MkVIII too) I hope to wangle a trip to take them back to Bristol next month.

I know we’ve seen a couple since but for me as an impressionable 14 year old back in July 1974 was the B24 en route from India flying through Greenham Common late on the Sunday afternoon.

Life is so unfair. How he would have loved to be part of the Spitfire 70th Anniversary celebrations next year. It won’t be the same without him. What about some kind of tribute on the day?? I’m sure its even in hand now. Lets hope so. Condolences to the family.
