A great shame and one of life's great risk takers, don't seem to be too many people about with the guts to do what Dizzy did in his lifetime.
Someone should write a biography about his life as a memorial.

Thanks for posting the info Nick. Obviously it's sad news but what can you say. I had a trawl around but there's not that much about Dizzy on the web. I've added a short news item.

I have just picked up a copy of 'Aeroplane monthly' (march 2006 issue)magazine and discovered a two page article in the obituarys about Dizzy.
It makes very interesting reading and has a small mention about the DART.

unfortunately his widow has been getting a bit of grief from the old bill about an unruly dog she used to have. ended up with the dog being put down, old bill didn't realise and tried to take her to court again!

Spotted this memorial plaque on a bench at Langland bay near Swansea, close to where Dizzy and his wife lived.
