You will be dearly missed David, my thoughts goes out to his family. Rest in peace dear friend.

I just read about this and I'm stunned. Its very sad news. David worked with us in the Library a while ago. We joined the team at the same time and I was lucky to have him as a colleague. A wonderful person and a pleasure to work with. His contributions to Flight simulation have been tremendous. Opa, you will be missed. RIP.

I opened this Forum purely by chance today and was shocked to hear of "Opas" death. I had a problem with FS9 and Opa was the only person who offered to help, so much so he gave me his Email address and we communicated the problem that way. A sad day indeed. RIP. richard welsh.
