Donald Milne

Donald Milne dead: Rally champion who was Colin McRae's mentor dies in horror air crash after plane collides with helicopter - Mirror Online

There is a historical Aberdeen connection to this tragic fatality in Spain the other day.

Donald Milne ran Apex Tubulars, & I recall he had a Hughes or the use of one (N252JP) that he used to fly between Banchory & Apex T in Altens in the 80s. I think I have a pic of it on the apron at what was the Hawk Hangar in the 90s.

He also flew Cessna 425 N425TV which also lived on that side of the airfield. I recall his wheels-up landing too that the article mentions.

He also had a military plane (Jet Provost?) but I cannot recall if it ever made an appearance at Dyce.

Clearly an all-action guy that loved life .
