Very sad news.
I contacted Gerry a few years ago regarding his time on Javelins (23 and 60 Sqns). Before this he flew Hunters with 98 Sqn at Jever.
After his time on Javelins he was an instructor on Gnats with 4 FTS at Valley and then flew Phantoms with 43 Sqn at Leuchars. On leaving the RAF he was flight manager with Air Service Training at Perth and was then CFI at the British Aerospace Flying College at Prestwick.
