A brilliant test and display pilot, writer, and gentleman. I owe him a debt of gratitude on several points, as do hundreds - probably thousands - of others. He was a pleasure and honour to know, and will be sorely missed.
That said, I know he'd been unwell for some time, and given that, and his long and well lived life, I'm very glad that when he left us, he was able to do so peacefully and having achieved (indeed, exceeded) so much of what he set out to do.

I am Spartacus, and so is my co-pilot.
