Re: nightfighter M.Becker died
Martin Becker was an outstanding man, who i was fortunate enough to meet on numerous occassions whilst interviewing him for a biography i am writing about his life and career. Even though he had suffered with very poor health over the last 10 years he was still strong in spirit and with the aid of his close friend, Peter Spoden, we were able to conduct some very interesting interviews. He was lovingly cared for by his wonderful wife, Melitta, who nursed him on a daily basis and it was as a result of her love and devotion to him that he lived almost to be 90 years of age.
I believe that everyone who was fortunate enough to meet him will agree that he was an outstanding personality and his loss will be keenly felt through the avaition world. May his achievements long be remembered and i am relieved that he is finally at peace. God bless you 'Tino' and 'Horrido'
