Such sad news, coming less than 24 hours after the announcement regarding the purchase of the airport. Everyone at Flightline was so friendly and helpfull. Met the Chief Pilot, Capt Sutcliffe a couple of times at BALPA Employment conferences, he always gave one of the more amusing presentations! In my "other life" it was always a pleasure going into the Flightline Hangar and Offices to deliver and collect parcels. Dan in the Hangar and Julie in reception always had a cheerful smile no matter how miserable the weather was outside. I can also remember at least once sharing the circuit with a Flightline 146 doing base training, happy memories.
Good luck to everyone at Flightline. No flying for me tommorow, so I will have a glass of Port and a cigar in your memory tonight.
