Hope I got this right but heard today that Pip Borman was killed in an aircraft crash at Shepperton today or yesterday. I have seen Pip fly and he is the [was] our equivalent of our Birdy & Jacko [mayby even better]. An extremely gifted pilot who incidentally was an insurance assessor for QBE I thinks. Have heard him interviewed a few times and he fully understood what he did. Anyway, just another sad day for the flying fraternity.

The ABC played an interview with him from a few years ago and he was no gung ho man, very calculating and knew all about the things that keep you in the air. I ight have this wrong but I reckon they said his Dad was killed in a plane crash at Swan Hill. You might be able to verify that Graeme.
