Roger Searle
Heard today very sad news that Roger Searle had died on 16th April. At the moment it is not known if it was Covid19 or sepsis. Roger was a Hunter pilot in the late sixties and on 1 Sqn in the early days of the Harrier. He became a test pilot with Bae at Brough involved with early night vision goggles and the Al Yamama project on PC9 and the Hawk. Personally his loss is very sad as we joined the RAF on the same day and later was my Best Man in 1968. A man of strong views he was a talented Sqn Pilot and TP. No details of arrangements in these difficult days.
