• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Sad news

It is with a heavy heart that I have to pass the news that Dave Booker (DaveB) passed away yesterday morning (16th).
A truly decent bloke and a great friend. He will be sadly missed.
 
We had our differences on many an occasion but I am sorry to hear of this news. Too many familiar names are leaving us. Too many, too soon.:engel016:
 
I second Baz's thoughts. Too many sad departures. Dave was another valued member of our community that left us too soon.

R.I.P. Dave
 
Very sad. He gave me a lot of help and support in the CBFS. It must have been sudden as he was only on here the other day.
 
OMG! Dave! He was such a great guy! I feel I lost a dear friend. He helped me a lot. I don't cry often, now I do.

R.I.P. mate.......

I'm very upset to learn this terribly sad news.
I must admit to being surprised we didn't chat yesterday about HMS Queen Elizabeth arriving Portsmouth. I thought he might be away on holiday.
I have not been on SOH long and in that time I made good friends with Dave as we shared a passion for all things Royal Navy. He was also very helpful about ships, aircraft and everything. A friendly tone of writing and fairly expert about a fair few things. I shall miss him much.

Rest In Peace mate.
Fair winds and clear skies.
 
Hmmmm....

In this Year we have very good news about projects, plans and new updates. They are very good news about simulators too (P3Dv4, new IL-2 BoK, X-Plane 11 and development of DCS) BUT for news about people this Year is disaster :(. Dave! Have a good time and many FPS, proper FM behavior and ect in the second, better life!

['] Rest in Peace DaveB [']

Very sad news, really enjoy'd his posts, imput and screen shots, esp if it was classic British and you could land it on a carrier.
