Sad Sad news. I met David a few times years ago whilst he was a manager at the old Fiat dealer in Carlisle Grierson & Graham.

Biggin Hill has an unfortunate track record in motorsport flying deaths. Escort rally driver Peter Warren (one of the first to use an RS1600) died in the A26 Invader crash back in the big air show days there.
Elswhere, the sometime titled "man who banned GpB", former FIA President Jean-Marie Balestre, died of more natural causes the other day at a fair old age. His nemesis (with Bernie Ecclestone) and successor, Max Mosely also, seems to be facing career death of another kind following yesterday's press revelations.
Max Mosely went to war unnecessarily with Rupert Murdoch over an article by Martin Brundle in the Sunday Times. He now seems to be "reaping the whirlwind"...
