A great loss. I feel very sad.
André was a exeptionnal test pilot and I remember very well the maiden flight of the Concorde.

Another great loss.
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

Well a flying legend lived to 94. His family should be proud. :clap:

A remarkable career and life. Sadly finding details of his WWII activities is difficult but his test pilot career, which included some tasty types before Concorde, is interesting considering he'd eventually ended up as a C-47 pilot post-war!

RIP.
