To Victor's family - I had the pleasure of meeting Victor while on a business trip to BAE Systems Filton with a contingent from BAE Systems Australia in early 2019. Regular business-related contact then continued after I returned to Australia through weekly tele-cons until I moved to another project in October 2020. I'd like you to know Victor stood out to me for 4 main things. The first was his total professional knowledge and mastery of his job. The second was his willingness to help with something, followed by the speed with which the task was done. More than once he was allocated a task during a tele-con, only for it to be done by the end of the call. The third was when he found a mistake that I'd made, he fixed it and quietly and let me know - he never publicised it and no-one else knew. I learnt something good from that example. The last was when he took the time to make contact with those of us he knew in the Australian office during the bushfires across Australia in January 2020 to check we were OK. Victor didn't just have many colleagues who respected him across the UK, he had them across the world. I cannot begin to imagine what you are enduring at this time, but I hope and pray you can eventually find a level of peace and comfort. Rgds, Andrew Chapman, Adelaide, Australia.
