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.

Hans,

Warmest congratulations on the first flight of LN-HJD.  It is successes like yours which serve to brighten our lives, especially in times of trouble.  You should be very proud of your accomplishment even as we mourn our friends departure.
