Sad news
I first met Bob whilst out on a boat with an Ex 76 fo Dave Grant.think its was 93 and he was FE on the Tristar.Nothing but laughs all the way with this bloke, a really nice guy.I remember him telling me he had got lucky and got a job on the 76 as f.o after Gulf Air decided to part company with the Tristars solely because years earlier he had gained an American CPL. That was a great success story for going on to get his Command.He said he felt lucky because lots of the other blokes were now jobless. I was a Dj in Tobasco Charlies disco at the time and wanted to fly myself. He was was of the blokes who said go on get it done. Well Bob i did it mate got a Uk ATPL.I am really saddened at this news he was a great guy. Deepest sympathy to all of Bobs family and friends
