He posts as AA SLF on TOP. He has a few friends on here as well. Another good guy gone.

Is that the same guy who went by the pseudonym Nervous SLF ?

If so he resigned from a our group a while back having decided he was no longer nervous.

I don't think it is Nervous SLF, as he posted on TOP on 2nd June.

Oh dear. This is not only a year in which celebs have been dying all over the place, it's been a terrible year for our virtual friends.

Dreadful.

Life is fatal, and I think we should treasure the people who share their views with us on this forum, each and every one.

None of us knows what day will be our last.

Don't forget the change back to GMT on 29/10. It will look better for you then.

Sad to hear about Coffman PN. His user name always reminded me of the times I got to play with Canberras, Hunters, and the venerable Chippie. All of which IIRC used cartridge starts. RIP Coffmanstarter, you'll be missed. :(

Sad news indeed, I had a few exchanges with Coffman on TOP, generally he helped me out with some technical knowledge. I always found him to be polite and good natured, I bet one of life's true gentlemen. He will indeed be missed on the Mil forum, RIP Coffmanstarter, thanks for your help and kind words.

Must admit Ian, my knowledge wasn't all that intimate, all I ever use to hear was the loud bang. Tried not to get up too close. Believed most starts were the compliments of Mr Coffmanstarter. :(
