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 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=494278#494278 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:54:57 AM PST US From: Graham Singleton Subject: Re: Europa-List: 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.

Also a deep thinker who came up with his own considered opinions & solutions rather than following the herd.
