Joe Durnin - RIP
For those who knew him, today brings the sad news that Joe Durnin has passed away. He had been fighting cancer for some time and things seem to have gone downhill rapidly in the last few days.
Joe was old school and I'm sure will be remembered by many from his Irish Helicopter days and by others from places he operated overseas. He was quite a character, was Joe, not short of a fairly direct and often scathing opinion on most things and he had some stories to tell if you had time to listen.
I had the pleasure of meeting him again some months ago in Dublin and he was in good spirits, happy to talk helicopters for a few minutes. I consider it a privilege to have known him and to have had the benefit of his guidance from time to time over the years.
