A great article posted on Vintage Wings about a couple of old friends:

I am sure St. Elmer the Fud, patron saint of all warbird hunters, is smiling.

That was an excellent story, but I have to admit I was tearing up at the postscript. What a sad loss of an amazing man who had so much to offer.

Met Jon on a number of occasions, he was such an avid historian and relic hunter.. My best memory of him is popping into the hangar one evening after hours while I was working on the lanc and he mentioned he was taking some recent bits to storage. I asked if I could take a look and we spent ages in the back of his pickup looking at the various bits and pieces..
