Re: AVG pilot passes.....

Thank You Frank

Very nice you could confirm my hunch. At least one individual from the "old" country is thinking about him now and then!

Since you gave me a finger perhaps I can pursuade you with a hand. Without looking it up, I believe there was a man named Arvid Olsen?
That ALSO sounds very, if not Swedish, at least Scandinavian. His surname in Swedish should have been Olson (or Olsson) while it is much more common in Denmark to put an e in the end of the name. On the other hand it could have been a change of convenience, since it certainly is easier to pronounce the name in English as Olsen...

Cheers
Stig
