Question Re: Hunter XE552 loss Feb 1981

[IainA]

Does anyone happen to know the name of the student killed in this accident. A friend is building this aircraft and would like to add his name as a mark of respect. I've tried very hard to find it with no luck. Many thanks for any input.

Try this:

or this:

Clearly the pilots name has not been revealed for good reason I would imagine.

Thanks Paul, yes, I've seen those. Not quite sure about the "for good reason" bit, what I mean is, we've seen plenty of names released of pilots involved in accidents, whether it be due to mechanical failure or their own fault, but hey-ho.
