Sad news indeed. John was one of a kind.

He was able to combine his own feeling of handling aircraft with a huge intellect to develop a set of Handling Quality Criteria which remain unrivalled in the aircraft industry.

His perseverance to develop these Handling Quality Criteria are directly responsible for the superlative handling of Jaguar FBW, EAP. and now Typhoon.

I am back in the FJT and it is with immense pleasure and pride that I see John's work applied daily during design and clearance.

Sadly missed.
