Sad news indeed. Obviously not just a leader but a doer as well. I believe it was a charity event is there a Just giving page or similar?
RIP.
RIP.

Thanks chaps - all rather strange today here, with the feeling of loss of a good man at the top level, who was passionate through and through about the RAF, its values and what it stands for, and its people, with sadness across the Headquarters. A rather poignant short memorial service held this afternoon in the open air outside the Headquarters was followed at close of play by the time-honoured and traditional way of remembrance in the Mess.
