In 1982 Jerry flew in Kiev. He came in second that year. I have an extensive photo collection of the aircraft. He was killed in Afghanistan during the Russian conflict there. I remember we were discussing what we did for a living during a conversation in Steve Ashbys and my room in Kiev. Jerry told us he worked in an umbrella factory, with a wink in his eye. He was , not only a world class modeler , he was a friend.
