I'm deeply sad to read of Captain Vette's death. His investigation of the Mt Erebus tragedy was tenacious & inspiring & the subsequent book 'Impact Erebus', remarkable. Condolences to his family & may he rest in peace in a very special place for those who wear wings on their chests.

I had the priviledge of having Gordon as my first Cheif Flying Instructor. Always encouraging, he instilled a strong sense of the weight of responsibility that our licences gave us. Gordon's words have stayed with me throughout the past 20 years and I will carry them with me always. A great man who was a gift to aviation and all of those who were lucky enough to meet him. Rest well Gordon, my thoughts are with his family and many friends. Emilie Wintle.

You may have departed, but you will never be forgotten.
I can only thank you for all the incredible knowledge you passed on to me while crewing with you. On and off duty you proved to be a wonderful friend.
I will always remember you
