Kevin Crossley RIP
 
Kevin will have been well known to many former CATC students. He was the pilot.

Deep sympathy to Kevins family. Have known him for some 20 years and whenever I bumped into him at CATC he always had time for a good chat and a gossip. The world of ATC is a poorer place...

Very sad news indeed. An excellent instructor and genuine good guy. He will be sadly missed by all.

My thoughts go to the families involved.

Very shocked to hear the news. Kevin was a fine guy and well liked at the college. I cannot begin to imagine what the families of those involved are going through. Rest assured everyone's thoughts are with them all during this incredibly difficult time.

So sorry to read this sad news. Kevin was one of the instructors at the college when I transitioned across from the military. He was friendly, helpful, informative and thoroughly professional at all times during my time there and helped me no end. My sincere condolences to his family and my thoughts are with them. RIP Kevin.

Don't really know what to say. Heard a "little rumour" this morning, but wasn't sure whether it was true or not. Really shocked and saddened to hear it's true. Kevin was one of those people at the college who really made our time there an easier and more enjoyable experience. He really did make a difference and will be sorely missed.

A great guy and an instructor who always managed to keep my confidence up no matter how bad my run was. Truly one of the genuinely nice guys. He will be missed by many.

Condolences go out to his family at this difficult time.

RIP Kevin.

Awful news, my condolences to his family and friends.

He was a great man and instructor and will be missed.

I heard the news and as many hoped the rumour was not true. Unfortunately it wasn't to be. Whilst being trained by Kevin, his enthusiasm for aviation in general was infectious. A truly great person and instructor.
Our thoughts are with his family and all those at Hurn where he will be so greatly missed.

God bless

I rented Kevin's Seneca years and years ago and he was an absolute gentleman; just asking for a cheque to be left in the aircraft once I was done. Bournemouth's aviation scene will be left poor in his absence. My thoughts are with his family.

Tragic news. Kevin was a truly nice guy and a top instructor. My graduation from the college was due in no small amount to his assistance, wise words and encouragement. A tragic loss of a warm hearted individual and an enthusiastic aviation professional. Condolences and thoughts at this terrible time to the families invloved.

Kindest Regards, ADIS

Condolences to Kevin's family, he was a great guy and instructor who was well respected....

Absolutely dreadful news. Deepest sympathies to all concerned.

HeathrowDictator 25th July 2006 11:57

I can only echo everything that's been said. Kevin was one of my favourite instructors when I did my Aerodrome and Radar Courses at NATS as he was such a top bloke. Sincere condolencies to his close friends and family.

Just to say the same as most. One of the really good instructors who was always there to help and support especially for me through NAG. A real tragedy. My sincere condolences.

foghorn 25th July 2006 14:27

I heard the rumour on Sunday, I was hoping it wasn't true.

Kevin was my mentor during my time at college, an excellent instructor and a great guy to boot. RIP.

tired-flyboy 25th July 2006 14:33

Just another note to add to the sentiments that others have said.

Kev always had a friendly Hello to say in the corridors of Hurn, and even though i wasn't on the aerodrome/approach side, he would always ask how you were doing as he passed you.

A truely nice guy who will be missed by all who knew him.

Deepest sympathy to his family.

Lost for words.

RIP Kev.
