I was at school with Adam, many memories, all good. He was a talented silversmith, I still wear the ring he made for me with his own hallmark. I was at the National Arboretum last week and found his name, it meant a lot and I wanted to find somewhere I could leave a memory of him, this is perfect. Andrew

Adam and I shared a cabin at BRNC and went through 750 squadron together. He routinely visited our home for sunday dinner and gin (something of a theme here - looking at Jim's post). He was Godfather to my first born, Rose. We shared a love of music - he a flautist and I a pianist and briefly did silly barbershop renditions through multi track while at Culdrose. He had an easy confidence - no arrogance at all. I am sure he would have risen to the highest ranks. I named my son after him so that his name would continue. A wonderful young man, still sorely missed

He was my closest and best friend.

 I shared a house with Adam during our time as students on 702 Squadron. I was embarked in Engadine when Adam and his pilot, Tony Davies ditched on that dark night in the Bay of Biscay.I still recall with a smile the sight of Adam with a gin in one hand, cigarette in the other delivering his theories on life. I will remember him always.

After we returned from DTS and all the lightweight grads (and 33 Flight) had passed out to their life of luxury - us lowly Middies returned to the College to beast the new intake. I was now a salty third termer and Adam (34 Flight and a previous victim) was in the cabin across the corridor sweating on passing his exams so that he too could join the grownups in the Fleet. We shared a love of gin, cigarettes and work avoidance for a wonderful half term. Even today I can call his face to mind poking his head round my cabin door and asking if I fancied a nightcap in the Senior Gunroom! I am sure I always signed the chit and it was my fags we smoked, but it was always worth it to be in his company! He was a true character – a great friend and the mark of the man is that I still often think of the good times we shared!
