What a lovely tribute to a lovely man . I had a chat with him & had his autograph at IAT 95. A sad loss.

The quality doesn't matter - the fact they did it and you thought to capture it is tribute enough.

Yes this is a great tribute and its good to see they still do so.
There is a commemorative plague next to the crash gate near to where it happened.
