Sad news. Death of Graham Caven
Regret to say Graham Caven, previously Chief Pilot at Gulf Helicopters, Doha and other locations has died.
He helped a lot of people get started in/advance in their career - I know I was very grateful in 1996 when he was Deputy Chief Pilot and Denis Laird was CP there and took a chance and hired me over the phone. That's how things were done back then, Chief/Deputy Chief Pilot hired pilots.
Graham was a larger-than-life character, always had something going on, always in a good mood, positive outlook, no problem couldn't be solved.
An excellent pilot, complete natural at the controls and took care of his team.
Always a pleasure to be with both at work and afterwards as his house was always open to entertain and where he indulged himself as chef.
Great memories of happier, more carefree times.
Sincere sympathy to his wife Jill, daughter Victoria, son Alex.
