Mike Tideswell

[tomkidd]

My good friend Mike Tideswell died on Christmas eve.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis killed him...hastened by a chest infection in the last few days.

I first met Mike when we worked for Clyde Helicopters at the SECC in Glasgow, and was lucky enough to work with him there, and at Bond and PDG.

Mike was a rarity in the UK...a pilot and engineer.

When I know the funeral arrangements, I shall post them here.

Mike and George and Joe, Jim John and Flo in some of these pics from Clyde and earlier:

Not sure about some of the other connections.

Mike will be sadly missed by many. A true 'Gentleman'!

Mike allowed me to share his apartment in Glasgow back in 1990 when he was at Clyde Helis as an engineer. Yes a true gentleman who will be sadly missed.

Thanks for letting us know Tom. I met Mike on lots of occasions at Glasgow and he was a true gentleman.

That is sad news, I enjoyed working with Mike both at Bond and PDG.

Thank you for letting us know; I admire your taste in friends.

Mike, rest in peace, and my thanks for looking after me during my occasional forays around Scotlandshire with Bond as Redhead 12 and 14.

Nice guy. He'll be missed by many of the Police crew, past & present.

RIP Mike. Some happy times had in Glasgow with you. See you on the other side.
