Hi all,

Yes 'VTM', I too operated the 727s in Kuwait with Dave, was on board with him on his first flight as Captain in a 727 in KAC, in '92 I think.

If I remember Dave lived in Galia, I lived in Alia at Fintas Twrs, I left KAC in DEC94, from the '74 fleet.

Understand he converted to A320s, saw him one early morning in flight planning someplace in North Africa some years later.

Then, only a few years later, in Sunbury, Melbourne area, I saw him again, in '98 I think, it was the last time I was to see him.

Always a cheerful chap, had some interesting ideas sometimes.

Its always a shock to hear of the passing of someone you knew very well.
