Blimey, that name is a blast from the past!!! I must admit I thought he had died years ago.

I knew Maurice Kirk when we were flying hang gliders from Bossington Hill near Minehead back in the late 70's
We had some epic times with Maurice who was a lovely guy to know but an absolute rebel and a nutcase.
The last time I was with him, a photographer hired him to take him up in Maurice's aeroplane to get some aerial shots for a newspaper article and I went along for the ride.
The photographer said he was struggling to get a clear shot without parts of the aeroplane getting in the shot, so without warning the guy Maurice flipped the aeroplane upside down and said is that better, this scared the crap out of the photographer who dropped his rather expensive Hasselblad camera which duly fell out of an open vent in the cockpit canopy never to be seen again.

From the article it seems like he has had a few experiences in his time .... Sounds like a real character with a few stories to tell!
