A wee note to say that Pat (Patrick) had a great send off yesterday, from the eulogy from his eldest brother to the readings from his daughters Larissa and Tanya, he was sent to a better place with style.
Afterwards, at Downshire, his son-in-law (Tanya's husband) gave a great speech highlighting Pat's virtues. ATC (ex LL) were well represented at the funeral, including Derek Rham, Paul Louden, Al Carter, Chris Prentice, Chris Huggett (current LL!), Joe Hanbury, Steve James, Gerry Nicholas, Tom Toy, Gerry Hewitt, Malcolm Hemming, Roger and Celia Kunert, Pete Bish and myself. (Apologies if I've missed anyone out!)
A great celebration of a varied and talented life - RIP Pat!

I was thinking that the person on the left looked very much like a guy I knew called Trevor ???? (cannot remember surname) he was an instructor at the Air Cadets in Southampton, then a controller at Gatwick (he took me up the tower a couple of times, drove me there in his Ford Anglia and also took me flying in a C150 out of Bournemouth c 1973/4) and then I think he went on to be a training captain with Monarch (Britannia?) - I have an idea that he too was seriously ill so no idea if he is still alive -wish I could remember his name...........ah just did, Trevor Hughes!
Then I just read in a post above and he is mentioned - is he still alive?
About 13 years ago I wrote a book about aviation and put a bit in it about him (wishing him well) but did not mention him by name - top bloke!

I went flying with Trevor when we were both ATC cadets at EGPH. I was doing the power checks at Strathallan & having to hold the a/c on the foot brake, as the handbrake was u/s.
pressing hard on the foot brake & against the back of the seat, I was suddenly thrown backwards when the back of the seat broke off ! The a/c lurched off at full power with me on my back !
I was certainly glad that Trevor was there (it was just before he left ATC to become a BA trainee), as he knew exactly what to do, & rescued the situation.
Pat Flynn was on my ATCA course at 'HH in 1971. I don't think I ever saw him again. remember him as a very nice person. RIP.
