Hi! All ........Concerning the loss of G-HOFC with William Mills and
Paul Sweeting.
Tragedy indeed! I fail, for once, to find adequate words to align with
this accident. I messaged one of Williams friends to pass my condolences
to Diana and that I had previously had communications with Paul but
couldn't remember how or why.
I have now turned up his messages and of course he was as passionate as
myself with regards to who shall govern our country.
Attached is a photograph, taken by Ivor Phillips from my aircraft, of
William's aircraft over the Alps en-route to Raron in Switzerland it
has been on my office wall ever since. There is not a day gone by
without at some time reflecting on the trip and the people on it.
I have been reluctant so far to go public with a message of sympathy for
the families since I don't suppose for one minute they know me, but the
fact remains that I had shared such moments as dipicted here with a sure
gentleman who was thirsty for flying.
I do hope that those who are closer to the beareaved will be able to
pass my sincere thoughts and inadequate words of sympathy to them all.
(which of course at this time will seem so futile to them)
God bless them all and give them strength to celebrate both William's
and Paul's life and so go forward to the trying times ahead with proud
as well as heavy hearts.
Respectfully
Bob Harrison. G-PTAG
