Re: General Gunther Rall has passed away at the age of 91 years old.
 

Very sad news, I saw him only once when I went to listen his lecture but have seen him a couple times in TV. And of course I have read his memoirs. My impression on him was that he was a modest but lively old gentleman. In TV programs he also showed that he was witty and humorous and very clever; no wonder he reached high rank in military. And of course he was one of the greatest fighter pilots of his time.

I was fortunate enough to have met him on a number of occassions here in England, and 3 or 4 times at his home in Bavaria. A gentleman and a great racantour who will be sorely missed by all those interested in aviation.

Mr Copeland, Sir, I think you made a great impression on him, as well as his bottle of Schnapps! Fond memories!

All the best, David.

It is with great sadness that I have just Heard the news of the Passing away of the Legendary " General Gunther Rall ". I have had the Emmence privelage of meeting the " General " on many Ocassions here in England and at Gunther's home in Bavaria. I spoke to him on the telephone only a couple of weeks ago. Gunther Rall was not just a Legendary Wartime Fighter Ace, but a Man made from a mould no longer with us, he was a Truefull, Decent, Loyal Gentleman that I am very Proud to have called a Friend. It now seems that his Visit to England to Support me and my Aviation Gallery in April of this year was his last chance to meet his addoring Public. I am fortunate to have many many memmories of my time with " The General ", and tonight I shall raise a glass of his favorite whisky to him in his " Honour ". My thoughts are with his lovely family and his friends, I know how you are all feeling, especially you Stefan and Horst. May he be reunited with the Love of his life, Hertha his Wife. To Quote what he said to me only a couple of weeks a go " I am now on my final approach ".
May he Rest in Pease, God Bless.
