It is with a great sadness that I have to report the death of the owner of Boomerang Jets in England, last Tuesday Colin Gontier, left us. Any one who had dealings with Colin will know that he was a great supporter of the Jet scene in Europe, and was the importer of many top class models, He will be missed...

My God, what a terrible loss ...
Colin helped me buy my first Jet.
He was a very good man, we will remember it ...
