Hi there,
I am not a pilot, nor ex RAF or anything like that, but my mum was close friends with David Chitty's wife, and I grew up with his son Richard as a close friend. I was talking to Sue on the phone two days ago as she called the house because my mum has been staying this week - David would have been celebrating his 60th birthday on the 27th April this year.
I can't remember David as I was so young at the time, but from what I've heard about him he was a special guy/father/husband. Sue and her two boys (Mark & Richard) will be coming down from north Wales to visit his grave in Hartley Wintney in April, I'll be meeting them and would like (if possible) to share some memories with them from the RAF side of the fence.
I'd be grateful if anyone that knew or worked with David could drop me a line, and something I am really hopeful of is if anyone has some pictures that they may not have seen before of him?
Thanks ever so much in advance :-)
