His family described him in an obituary notice as a “dearest husband, cheerful caring father, wonderful son, brother, son-in-law, brother-in-law and uncle”.
The small medical aircraft, which was taking off from the London Airport on its way for Lelystad in the Netherlands, corkscrewed in the air before plummeting to the ground.
Witnesses told of seeing a “fireball”, while images of fire and black smoke were shared on social media after the crash.
