Below are some very personal and interesting tributes to one of Pilot Magazine’s best loved editors, James Gilbert. I was fortunate to have one of my first articles commented on, and approved, by James ( though, in the end, the article was never published despite my getting paid for it! Happier times 🙂 ). A second article did find its way into Pilot in 2001 and although I never met him or corresponded with him, beyond that,  I have enormous respect for his tenure at one of Britain’s best loved aviation magazines. Hope you enjoy these insights as much as I did.
