Award for Aiden
Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2009 10:27 am
I am sure I am only one of a large number of people sad to get the news about Aiden and who remember him as a friendly helpful fellow always ready to discuss a problem and give you the benefit of his knowledge.
To have achieved aircraft sales of probably over 1500 with the exemplary safety record that his products had in South Africa is no mean achievement. Without wanting to detract from other local manufacturers who all produce fine products, I don't think any can match Aiden's tenacity to achieve the goals he did.
For this reason I would like to propose that an Aero Club special award for service to South Africa aviation and aviators be given to Aiden for giving so many people the time of their lives in being able to don wings and soar with the Eagles in a way that no other forms of aviation do.
