Nigel Milne wrote a sympathy message

“I only knew Henry for a couple of years, but in that time he made a huge impression on me. In my 50+ years on this earth I have only met one or two other people with the energy and enthusiasm for life that Henry had. He was a consummate professional in the cockpit, and a laugh a minute out of it. We were 'simulator buddies' through training at Cobham and it was hugely disappointing for us both that we never got to fly the actual aircraft together. The last time I spoke with him he was so excited about the move across to corporate flying, and I was so happy that his career was really taking off. His loss has robbed us all of a true spark; someone who makes us realise how life could be lived if we were brave enough to do so. I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to Henry's family at this painful time. Goodbye my friend; you brought laughter into my life, and I will always remember you with a smile. Nigel Milne”
