Dear John,
I know how all the members of the helicopter family feel following the loss of our dear friends Martin Rutty and Simon Lichtenstein.
They were very experienced flyers,they loved helicopter sports, they were very welcome as guests and participants whenever there was a helicopter event.
On behalf of the German Helicopter Club and the German Helicopter Team, we would like to send our sincere condolences to you,to Martin's and Simon's families and to their very close friends in the British Helicopter Club and the British Helicopter Team.
It is hard to imagine we have no chance to see them the next time we will meet again.
Dear Martin, dear Simon,
we will miss you.
Konrad Geissler
