I shall miss you Budgie, you were always kind and considerate when we met in the past, and I will always remember the good times on 41 Sqn. Rest in peace.

I was absolutely stunned to hear yesterday of Budgie's untimely death. My sincere condolences to his family at this dreadful time. I will always remember him for the coldest barbecue I have ever known - in Bardufoss, where else - and that wry smile of his which usually meant 'SEngO, you plonker!'. The 41(F) cross with the spanner which he made for me on my departure is even more significant now. RIP
