We are reminded on PPRuNE that Neil Williams died 40 years ago today (11/12/77). I never met the gentleman but I am sure that I have seen mention of him on this forum. RIP Neil.

I was only 8 at the time but remember hearing about the accident and how it was such a shock because of his ability. He wrote a great book called Airbourne. It was a collection of short stories of his exploits. It included ferrying the first CASA 2-111 and the Meteor NF11 to the bushe.

....he also wrote another 'Aerobatics'. Only forty-three years of age - a great loss to the aviation fraternity.
