Very sad indeed
Yes, Pip Borrman was certainly famous for his routine in the Edge. I used to bump into him at various airshows and interviewed him for the Tyabb DVD at some length in his hangar. He was a real gentleman and one of the best pilots I've ever known.
His death makes three I have known either through interviewing and working with in the very recent past. Tom Moon who was killed at Temora was a good friend.
Evidently he was being photographed or filmed at the time. I'm grateful I wasn't there behind the camera to witness it.
My sympathies go out to the friends and families of these three men.
