Leftseatview and wannabeflyer,
Babu Ganjoor was one of the formative influences on my flying career. As a boarding school brat I got to know him as he lived near my folks in Malaysia.
He gave me great encouragement when I was applying to the airways training scheme (Hamble) and I recall long chats about life and culture in India.
After I'd finished school, and before I started my eventual flying course, I spent 6 weeks in India travelling by myself. The trip was only possible because Babu convinced my folks that I would be safe and could look after myself. His guidance was crucial to say the least!
I didn't know his family, but I 'm sure it will give them a great boost to know that people like me still cherish his memory.
BSD.
