‘‘Robert was widely known and widely liked, it’s a club of like-minded friends so he was a friend of everyone at the airfield and we’ll all obviously miss him,’’ he said.
Mr Greig was a highly experienced and versatile pilot capable of flying almost any aircraft that took his fancy, Mr Cavanagh said.
‘‘He was in fact a dual licensed pilot, he has a general aviation license and has a Recreational Aviation Australia license as well,’’ he said.
‘‘He has flown countless different aircraft over a long time, he was a highly competent pilot.’’
The Balgownie man’s passion for flying was ‘‘irrepressible’’ and his absence from the club would be noticed by all, Mr Cavanagh said.
