Belatedly reporting the passing of Captain Maurice Rowan MBE (mil) in March 2018 aged 97. One time Operations Director of Autair International Airways. He gave me my big break into civil aviation at the beginning of 1966. Cherished memory of a jump seat ride with him in one of the new HS748s LTN/BLK and return. Maurice was rather shamefully sidelined by the company when it expanded and became Court Line.
