To one of the greatest,
Condolences to Barbara and the Bruton family. RIP my friend and my Tutor.
Funeral details from an email as follows:
Norm, the big hangar up in the sky has many dearly beloved ones, but you will always be the one with the most hours on the Mirage III, in the world! I shall never forget the tablecloths at Roodewal flying around after a Norman Bruton flypast in a IIID2Z! Goodbye my friend.
Condolences to Barbara and the Bruton family. RIP my friend and my Tutor.

Sincerest condolences to you Barbara.
Met up with Norman recently at the Nairobi IATA Safety Conference after not having seen him for many years.
I have many fond memories of him and Barbs. Started my 2 Squadron tour with him at Waterkloof before moving off to Hoedspruit, therafter our paths criss-crossed for the next 20 years in the vlammie line.
Barbara prepared my wife for our wedding ceremony and Norm had the honour of driving the car for us. Must have been a good preparation Barbs, because we are still happily married after 27 years. Thanks.
Thanks for all the great times Norm.

From a friend and sometimes business associations (AASA etc - never knew Norm in the SAAF but heard plenty about the officer and gentleman Norm always was in the SAAF and experienced it myself since about 1999), my deepest condolences and sorrows for the family.
Norman, I will miss you dearly for you were really the true gentleman, very evident from the times when I was the "sprog" as well as the only female at some meetings I was thrown into at short notice. "Sharalumi" Norm - May peaceful waters flow...with an afterburner.
