Col
Yes, I had a call from the museum this morning - a very sad thing to have happened.
I've shared a room in the bunkhouse at Temora with Col, formated with his Kittyhawk, and yet never really knew him - he was a fairly quiet chap.
For those who don't know him, Col was responsible for the restoration of many Warbirds including two P-40s, P51 and of course the MkVIII Spitfire now owned by the Temora Aviation Museum.
I saw Col last flying weekend taking the Spitfire for a play - he must have been very happy then and that's how I'll remember him.
RIP Col.
