Shaun de Salis We regret to record the death in a flying accident of Henry John ("Shaun") de Salis, a Bristol Siddeley engineer and Tiger Club pilot, during the Tiger Club's recent tour of Ireland. During a formation flight by the club's Turbulents over Limerick on August 25, a collision occurred between an Auster flown by Joseph Selkirk of Shannon Aero Club and the Turbulent piloted by de Salis. Mr de Salis learned to fly in 1953 at Elmdon, flew with Cambridge University Air Squadron, and piloted Tiger Moth G-ANSM in this year's King's Cup race at Baginton just one week before the accident. Among the aircraft present at the Waveney Flying Group's fly-in and display at Seething Airfield on August 26 was R. C. Medler's canopied Tipsy Trainer I (right). On the left is G. H.
