It is with very mixed feelings I write this. It was supposed to be a glad announcement to the group that my plane LN-HJD finally flew on the 6th of june.
When opening the mail after beeing absent for a week - the tragick passing of William and Paul grabbed my attention. I was overwhelmed by shock and grief and not able to muster any enthusiasm towards my original intention.
Both of these two gentlemen came to my house two years ago to inspect my project (together with Graham Singleton and David Bos.). I flew with William and got to know him as a warm, enthusiastic and positive person. Every time I met him he approached me with this open, warm conduct, and it was always a pleasure to be in his company. Paul was equally open and positive, and was eager to sample as many ideas and suggestions as possible for his own project.
A sad loss to all, but of course mostly to their families. They have my deepest sympathy.
It does not feel right to make any other announcements here, but a short report is in order. My project flew for the first time on the 6th of june. I had to land after 10 minutes due to high oil temperature. After extra bafling around the oil cooler the temperature stayed well within limits. The second flight went very well indeed.
I will put forward on the list all the details required for the club secretary. For now I just want to sit and contemplate.
