Crime - he requested rosters to plan his last two flights with myself and another Brit - I flew the penultimate one to Atlanta in the late 80s where we were met with a water arch from the airfield fire tenders. The station staff were invited to a restaurant to celebrate his career along with his wife who had been part of the station staff - young enough to be his daughter. My next trip I discovered he hadn’t paid the bill which had to be settled by the staff. Retired with a tax free sum of around 3 million francs plus whatever he had accrued on more than a quarter a million salary.
Has left a very rich widow..probably in his native country of Australia.
Pretty thing too - met her at a leaving do in Zurich for another ex hamster who was off to Cathay..couldn’t even put 20 francs into the booze kitty, I had a beer shampoo as asked him if she was his daughter or granddaughter.
