Cliff Middleton

[Arfur Dent]

Sad to report that Cliff - ex Hunters, Harriers. Brittannias (after his near fatal crash in a Harrier) and BizJets galore has passed away recently.
RIP my old mate.
Finest example of a true Officer, gentleman and Fighter pilot.

[Pontius Navigator]

IIRC, South Carney 1961

Very sorry indeed to hear that. A good old mate and I have very fond memories of times spent with him.

A sad loss. A great guy, both professionally and socially. In distant bachelor days, a great party man, with the ability to look seriously hungover when totally sober. Deepest sympathy to his family.

Does anyone have funeral details?

RIP, Cliff

I'll let you know funeral arrangements later.

Thanks Arfur. A few people interested in knowing down here.

RIP mate. Good times, especially in Aden and at Chivenor, and in various Messes thereafter. Great aviator, full of mischievous fun, and a true friend.

[Wholigan]

kenparry, we have also on occasion seen him look totally sober when legless, although that was a trick that he hadn’t perfected for every occasion!! ;)

Burial ground is uneven so flat shoes for ladies recommended. If you need a motorised buggy, let Sandy know. See you there - let's give him a bloody fine send off!!

[Wholigan]

Thanks Arfur. I'll pass it on.

Very sorry to hear the news; I worked in Flight Ops at Falcon Jet Centre (FJC), Heathrow and knew Cliff there. A very reliable pilot, very good with the pax and the other crew members; one of the old school you might say. RIP Cliff; not doubt up there now chatting to Olly Oliver and Bob Frith!

Sad to hear. A leading light on my first tour on 43 Sqn.
