    For those who remember Mr. Chaffin's work with his excellent B-25 that could rival the MAAM's version, has passed away.

    There is a post over at AVSIM :

    https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/6...p-roy-chaffin/ which leads to another link for Memorial Services https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/me...4.roy-chaffin/

    God speed.

    That is such sad news. He was such a skilled artist. He used to always send me a Christmas Card, usually with a large cat (tiger, cheetah, etc) that he drew. They were outstanding pictures. He was an amazing artist. RIP, Roy.

    Oh my god - I have all his fantastic work inside my hangar! What an excellent artist and person certainly.
    Really sad to hear this. Rest in peace, Roy!
    Best regards, Manfred.

    Roy's B-25 was a classic! His work was extremely detailed. Loved it. Rest easy now, sir. NC

    This is, indeed, very heart breaking. Roy was such a gifted artist both in the real world and the virtual world. The community has lost a most valuable member and it's very tragic that his health did not allow him to transfer his talents to MSFS. May he RIP and his family gain comfort in knowing he was most beloved in both worlds. God speed to his loved ones. Thank you NC for the update.

    I remember Roy and the B-25. I used to get emailed Christmas cards from him too, illustrated with his own art. RIP.

    Sad news. But he will be remembered for his beautiful work. And he always will remain in the cockpit from his own B-25!

    Sad news indeed.
    I too used to get Christmas cards from him,I've been flying his B-25 for years,it's still an absolute beauty and sounds
    superb.

    Nothing I can add that hasn't already been said so eloquently. Roy's B-25 was a mainstay on my installs for many a year, a true artist as has been said. We are all poorer for his passing.
