I remember 6 years ago when Chris Something died from another crash with the Snowbirds. He was actually a cadet in my very Air Cadets squadron, 151 Chadburn Squadron.

He came and visited the squad a month before he died and we had a huge show with all of them in the airport hangar open to the public, and i remember a month later thinking i'd shook his hand and then he'd gone off and fucking died...
Its weird shit to think about, but i remember our CO saying that these were men who knew this shit could happen, and they died doing what they loved doing...was really weird...
