MEng Dr David Simpson
Sad news about Dave Simpson copied from another forum RIP Dave
'It is with a heavy heart that I write to let you know that my brother Dr and MEng David Simpson passed away peacefully at home in Lincoln today on the 28th July after losing a battle with lung cancer. Joining the RAF at 16 as a Cosford Apprentice he served his 40 years on Vulcans as an Air Radar Technician before joining the Aircrew fraternity as a Flight Engineer on Nimrod MR2P (206 Sqn), VC10 (10 Sqn) and (his love) Tristar (216 Sqn). He will be sadly missed by family and a host of friends.'
Dave served with me on Tens for some time. He was more than just a Sqn mate, was excellent company, very intelligent and very sadly missed.
FJ flying was fun, but the comradeship of friends like Dave on heavies made up for many things.
