I have only just heard about Kings, I only rang him a few weeks back & he was fine,so very sad, he was a good friend to me. I noticed that the funeral is Jan 12th, but this is a Saturday, can someone confirm please?

Hello I have noticed that the 12th Jan is a Sat, is this correct please?

Kingsley ''Kings''
 

I worked with him in Ops for 10 years, a great person to have a good laugh and I will always he would get the boards down once an aircraft had called Ops so that we could get cleared away and get across the road for that drink!!!
A great person to work with and lots of good memories in Ops and a Legend.

Such sad news! RIP to one of the best aviation characters I ever met.

I have known Kings since 23 March 1968. As someone has already said, he just kept popping up in strange places ! He turned up in FJR around 1995 in a clapped out IL76. Due to all sorts of typical Russian reasons he ended up in DXB where I was working, and had to spend a week there. It was one of the most hilarious weeks I have ever had in my life.Catching up on all the old times in LTN and Saudi etc.
We spoke a couple of times a year since then. True gumpy old men conversations.
Loved the guy. Very very sad.
