Shocked and saddened by this news. He will be sorely missed by all and I am honoured
to have been able to count him as a true friend.
Sincere condolences and best wishes to all his family.
So long and blue skies, dear friend,
Paul

| Subject: | Re: Nigel Graham |
A chapter ends and a new one begins. Ive known Nigel for something like 25 years
now. We first met through Gernot Schwetz, who
built a lovely Classic, I helped Gernot convert the Classic tailwheel to the XS
style but retaining the original belcrank and rudder pushrod.
Nigel was working in Belgium at the time, on IT I think. He brought along some
excellent Belgian beer. Gernot died some years ago after he
moved to Naples in Florida. We had some memorable long weekends at Steve Pitts
place in Florida. I remember Gernot cooking some wonderful
fresh lobsters and teaching us how to chop onions without including finger ends
in the meal!
Ive watched the Callysto project since its very early days in the tiny garage in
Chandlers Ford and wringing my hands every time LAA changed some
meinor requirement. Nigel! Please dont make the mistake I did! Not getting the
Long EZ airworthy until I was too old to fly it.
Nigel was still talking about modifying it yet again to fly with only one rudder
pedal, that was only a few months ago. Now he will have to fly it sitting on
the shoulder of
the final builder, please fly it soon, Id love to see it fly. It is a work of art.
My condolences to Marie and their son Will and daughter Freya.

Nigel was always friendly, hospitable & generous with his time and
attention.
Also a deep thinker who came up with his own considered opinions &
solutions rather than following the herd.
This was my favourite posting (attachment) & illustrates that Nigel
could talk the talk & walk the walk.

It was a privilege to know him.
