Hi all,

Many years since I’ve posted, but sad to read in the Telegraph obituaries that our old friend Flt Lt Peter Mcleland died on 6th November aged 93. His love of flight sims is referenced in the obituary.

He had quite an aviation career!
I see he also helped David Maltby with his HS Trident. (Autoland tutorial)

That would be a great one to see updated to FSX or P3D native.

Though heart-wrenching, it appears few can criticize the life of someone as vivid as him, which lasted for 93 years.

Farewell, Mr. Peter Mcleland. It's heartening to know his passion for flight sims was part of his legacy. We extend our condolences to those who knew him
