Noel Trigg
I also remember Noel as a great guy, for whom it was a pleasure to work. I joined Helitune in 1983 and stayed with them for 14 years - the longest with any one company.
I well remember Noel's enthusiasm as we trialled the Helitune night camera tracking device on a Chinook at RAF Odiham back in the early '90s. The crew were visibly impressed when we got good and consistent results.
Shortly after Helitune was taken over by Ultra Electronics, Noel and I both left on our separate ways, but he was never one for retirement! We met up on several occasions, one of which was to sort out a severe resonance problem on a 1930's DeSoutter belonging to the Shuttleworth Collection of historic aircraft at Old Warden, Bedfordshire.
Noel was one of those people who don't have the words "can't" and "not possible" in their vocabulary - he was always willing to give anything a go - and this included treatment for his cancer. He was always upbeat, even about that, and I admired his braveness in fighting it.
I was privileged to have known him and to be able to attend his funeral.
Farewell, Noel.
