From Robin Green
Worked with Jim as a apprentice changing undercarraiges on BAC 111 and flaps etc and was one of keenest professional person I had the privilege to work with, R I P Jim.

From Ray Astridge
I car shared with Jim, Bernie Graves, Ron Fuller and Tom Hamilton during my time in the hangars. I was an apprentice with Jim (and Bernie). My locker, in Hangar 1, was next to Jim's. It is with a heavy heart I write this tribute to a lovely man, a skilled engineer but above all, a mate with whom I have shared many a story. Some repeatable but others not so. May he fly with the angels and fix their wings with the same skills as on earth. RIP Jim.

From Graham Waters - R.I.P.

From Richard Keast - R.I.P. Jim, it was a pleasure to know you and work along side you.
