Sadly I have heard this morning that Simon Brenchley passed away on Saturday after a short but intense battle with cancer. Simon was with Orion in the 80’s and then spent the rest of his flying career with Cathay Pacific.
I was saddened to hear the news of Simon's passing. I last met up with him when he flew his Waco biplane into Tollerton (EGBN) about 2/3 years ago. He was full of fun and life then as always. I also flew with him on several occasions when we were flying for Orion in the 1980s.
RIP
