RIP - ROBBIE SINCLAIR - ATC Cape Town

[Goldfish Jack]

It was with a huge shock that we heard of the horrendous death of our colleague and dear friend ROBBIE SINCLAIR, last night. Robbie stopped active controlling a year ago, but was in the FACT ATCC as our supervisor.

It appears his house caught fire and he was overcome from the smoke fumes and died tragically.

An eccentric colleague of note, he was well known for his passion of ATC and flying, as well as being an expert on the Dam Busters and 617 Sqn. Also for his love of SAR steam and Class15 F trains!!

Robbie, we will miss you and we will remember the good times. Give them stick up there and make sure they are under radar control!!

Gone and not forgotten - RIP

Your colleagues in the radar room :ok:

At present, we have no details as to any funeral/memorial arrangements. Robbie is survived by his brother, Roy, from the USA and we are expecting him here soon. We will keep you informed as to any arrangements

How decisive is the hand that reaps the crop,
And provides consolation alone in the God!

Thanks for many years of happy landings Robbie.

Tragic news!

I remember first listening to Robbie on the radio many, many moons ago and was always impressed by his friendliness and professionalism. I even had the pleasure of meeting him once.

Condolences to family, friends and colleagues.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

For your wisdom and advise in the Cape Town skies and the correct spelling and meaning of TIBBA. In the short time I had the pleasure, I am truley thankful. For it was just Monday at 8 that I phoned to seek your wisdom and guidance yet again, that I received the chilling news. Still the only guy I know without a cell phone.
To your loved ones, our condolences.
