John Lambert RIP
I have been informed that John Lambert has just passed away.
John was a co-pilot on 5 course ( I think ) then posted to 24 at Lyneham. Following his captain course he joined 30 as a captain in 1971. An exceptional pilot, probably not what Flt Cdrs' dreams were made off!
He took his 8year option in '73 and joined Britannia Airways based in Birmingham. IIRC he had a spell with Kuwait before joining Royal Air Maroc as a skipper.
Sadly he suffered a motor cycle accident c1981, no he wasn't speeding, just had the misfortune to hit a pothole while stooging around house-hunting in Devon. He was severally injured and spent the rest of his life as a quadriplegic confined to a wheelchair.
Funeral is on April 10th, PM for details.
RIP John.
