I know Langrick Road very well - we've gone past Coningsby on this road so many times over the years - it's just a few miles from here

Not only a piteous loss to his family and friends but also a valuable asset lost to the RAF

A sad day, the irreplaceable loss of a very special pilot and his machine.

This is a sad day in the loss of an irreplaceable aircraft and even more so, a young man and Pilot. Memorial day is a day to remember the sacrifices of those that made the ultimate sacrifice. Ironically, it was the Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes and their excellent Pilots in WW2 that preserved the lives of those in England in her darkest hours in the battles of Britain and beyond. It was men like Sqn Ldr Mark Long that answered that call and it's always painful to lose them.
