Jaguar Missing Man Formation


The title is a bit misleading as it is not the main point of this note. This is about a great friend of mine, Wyn Evans, OBE, Gp Cpt Rtd, who in a quiet, sunny corner of South Wales on Friday afternoon (18th) was laid to rest in a small Welsh Churchyard after a brave battle against illness. He was an ex Jaguar pilot and amongst his many achievements he stood in as Coltishall Station Commander for 9 months while the Station Commander was absent. He was the epitomy of a boy still not grown-up, rugby fanatic, mischievous, fun to be with, a loving husband and father. I am proud to have known him.
The service was uplifting, poignant, and magnificent with a warm heartfelt oration, but was movingly concluded by an overfly at low level by a missing man formation of Jaguars. (Thanks to those involved)
Goodbye Wyn, it was a privilege to know you and thoughts and condolences to Ann and family.
