Captain Arthur Whitlock RIP
I regret to report that Captain Arthur Whitlock has recently died.
Born in Madras in 1930, Arthur learnt to fly there in the 1940s and his career spanned Daks in India, BKS, Northeast and finally BA TriStars.
A notable cartoonist, artist (Royal Society of Marine Artists & Guild of Aviation Artists) and author, his drawings of aircraft, aviation characters and his specialty, leggy, busty young ladies, all appear in his book "Behind the Cockpit Door." (ISBN 0 86303 565-5)
One of the delightful characters of aviation, Arthur's death represents a loss to the profession and to those of us who will never again have the opportunity to have a beer and an amusing chat with him.
