Andy Cookson BMA has passed away

More sad news -
another British Midland colleague and a dear friend - I heard today that Andy Cookson former LHR duty officer and station manager in the 70's/80’s/90’s has died today.

I was only only going to give him a call soon

After BMA where he had become BD's ground operations Director, he then went out to the Gulf and worked for one of the Legacy airlines, then moved back to Wales.
