Hello, Alec HAMMOND is my Dad and as you know he sadly passed away in 1999. Flying was his life and if you knew him you will know that he didn’t suffer fools gladly and had little time for ‘desk pilots’. A man I’m sure that rubbed a few up the wrong way but to me a great Dad and friend and I’m welling up just writing this as I miss him so much, (I’m 68!). After retiring from the reserves at Manston Mum and Dad moved from Mayfield up to Grantown on Speyside where he indulged his love of golf and after several years they moved south to Woodhall Spa (where Mum still lives), where he continued golfing on the old Woodhall Spa RAF course.
we live in France and both Mum and Dad have visited on many occasions and we’ve had many happy times.
It was really lovely to read your comments and thank you for your kind words,
Kind Regards
Ian HAMMOND
