Dear Carolyn and Tegan; Stella and I were very sorry to hear Errol has died. Errol was a great gliding friend and mentor and also a personal friend to both of us. He was very good with his hands and I had the privilege of flying the HP18 which he built . We are thinking of you and hope things go well for you both and your families - Nga mihinui , Arohanui
