It was with a huge shock that we heard of the horrendous death of our colleague and dear friend ROBBIE SINCLAIR, last night. Robbie stopped active controlling a year ago, but was in the FACT ATCC as our supervisor.
It appears his house caught fire and he was overcome from the smoke fumes and died tragically.
An eccentric colleague of note, he was well known for his passion of ATC and flying, as well as being an expert on the Dam Busters and 617 Sqn. Also for his love of SAR steam and Class15 F trains!!
Robbie, we will miss you and we will remember the good times. Give them stick up there and make sure they are under radar control!!
Gone and not forgotten - RIP
Your colleagues in the radar room
At present, we have no details as to any funeral/memorial arrangements. Robbie is survived by his brother, Roy, from the USA and we are expecting him here soon. We will keep you informed as to any arrangements
