It is a pity that the national press seem to have missed a worthy story over the long running tripe of the last couple of days.
I couldn't agree more.
I eventually called The Times newsdesk today expressing surprise that there hadn't been a mention. I was told 'it's not really a news story', 'people would be more interested if it was someone famous now' (a so-called 'celebrity' no doubt
) and was advised to contact the Obituaries section. I did, so hope something will come of it.
I happen to know the person who writes aviation obituaries for the Daily Telegraph. He hadn't heard the sad news, but is now writing so I think we'll see an obituary later in the week. (Subject to the Obituaries Editor's discretion obviously, but the DT is usually good re aviation obits.)
