John Griffin passed away...........

I just received a message that John Griffin, author of Hawker Tempest II and V and two P-47 Thunderbolts on my site passed away after prolonged battle with cancer. He will be sorely missed....

Wow. John was a high school friend of mine and this site brought us back in contact. I actually ended up working a job with his brother Josh, and when John stopped posting here I casually asked what John was up to. They're not terribly close and he didn't have any information, and then about a year or so ago we moved to different jobs sites. Really shocking news.

Of course! Bit slow in making the connection. Sad news indeed. Condolences to his family and to those who knew him as a friend.
