In the early 1970s Dave was a Whirlwind helicopter pilot on 84 Sqn (B Flight) based at RAF Nicosia in support of UNFICYP. I knew him as a near neighbour living in OMQs, before he was posted back to the UK sometime in 1973 or 74. I don't know what Dave did after leaving the RAF, but late in 2000 I heard the sad news, from a mutual friend, that he had died that same year.
