Mark Dickson - RAF and NATS ATCO - RIP
Staff at Prestwick Centre are stunned by the death of friend and colleague Mark 'Dicko' Dickson who was killed in his Nimbus glider on take off at Portmoak a couple of days ago.
He was a jovial and genuine guy and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He loved his gliding and was very experienced, which makes the accident all the harder to believe.
Glider crash pilot named
RIP Dicko ... smooth flights from now on

Worked with Mark in the RAF and socialised as well. Never saw him have a cross word with anyone, was knowledgeable, engaging and great fun to be around.
Thoroughly enjoyed his Gliding updates via Facebook and has been said before - he was bloody good!
Gutted by the news. Soar high and far Mad-dog!!

Everyone liked Mark; his grin was infectious.
Unfortunately this accident occurred on my watch: however, this has allowed me to reassure Andy and Mark’s family, that the end was instantaneous and that Mark did not suffer.
