Aviation Dimension has lost a friend.

Frans "Snapper Jack" Dely

It was confirmed today, on the 16th of August after the wreckage of two Piaggio Albatrosses was found, that Frans Dely was lost in an aircraft crash on Saturday the 13th of August 2011. You will all know him for having been the greatest contributor to and for being a co-founder of the site. Frans and I set-up Aviation Dimension back in 2002 and he was one of the best friends I have made over time in aviation. Frans's AvPix was aimed at much greatness in the Aviation photography world and many great adventures were shared.

In Frans's honour, it has been decided to revive the site to its initial glory of the past and to ensure his name remains imortalised in aviation. In some days, a tribute to aviation's master photographer and friend who shared so much with us will be published.

Rest well "Snapper Jack" you will be very missed. Thank-you for all that you left behind in your legacy and everything you shared with all of us. I will never forget the first time I formed on you for that awesome supersonic photoshoot.

Aviation Dimension would also like to offer its condolences to the families of all of the victims involved in the accident.
