Many thanks, Steve. What remarkable man. To fly 78 operations, many at low level ........... and still survive to talk about it. I'm sure this gentleman had many a fine story to tell.
Vale, F/L Aktins.

A very impressive character -- it's a shame the obit doesn't say too much about the man himself, but what a record.
