As a trainee I once asked Darby if I should wear my specs when flying. When I said "no", he replied "Then no need...​there's less traffic up here". A gentleman, loved and respected by all who flew with him. Declan Long

As a 17 year-old in the FCA 67 years ago, Darby took me up in a Tiger-Moth, looping the loop, falling out of formation and cutting the engine before a dive! A thrilling day for lad which I remember to today.

Aviation has indeed lost a great treasure. Captain Kennedy taught my father how to be an airman back in 1980 at WESTON. May he keep on flying with the angels. N. S. Ngomane
