Though you are a stranger to me, I seem to know you. Others had painted your image in my mind's eye, and it is all good...a rare type that comes across once or twice. We will meet one day, Rad, and if it is as they say, I'm sure we'll be good friends. Godspeed on that last journey.

Roni and family, may the good Lord bless you, keep you and comfort you.

dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea..." Psalm 139:9

Condolences For Gf Capt. Rad Gammage

There seems to be some confusion over the information received from
Mach 084 re condolence messages for Rad.
Roni is more than happy to receive messages of condolence from those
who wish to do so, as she says this is the best way of communicating with her. She never asked that messages in memory of Rad should be stopped.

I have been dealing with all the paperwork involved on her behalf and as you can imagine this is no easy task with authorities here and Ramadan.

Just to remind those who can or wish to attend that the Memorial Service for Rad will be held at St. Christopher's Cathedral in Manama at 1530
on Wednesday 19 September.

Please keep your messages coming in as Roni DOES appreciate the kindness you have all shown during this very sad time.

I recieved a telephone call the evening our colleague passed away requesting that posts on Pprune or otherwise be "discontinued" UFN....so hence my request ( that was rudely ignored)...so if it has changed...maybe we are not all aware of the change

Rad
Aviation has lost one of its gems, if only more of us could follow your trail.
Rest in peace my friend till we meet again.

Condolences to all the families.

RIP

I just learned of the passing of Captain Gammage. I had the priviledge of flying with him on the 767, many years ago.
My souvenir is one of a superb pilot, and more importantly, of a true gentleman.
His life should be celebrated, God has certainly welcomed him to heaven.
My very sincere condolescence to his loved ones and numerous friends.

Condolences to Roni

Rad was a great character, his council was wise, his criticism fair and at the end of the day a good drinking companion.

1)Any further information on the GF plans for financial assistence from Rads friends and GF staff that Gf management was planing for Rads medical expenses not covered by GF staff medical insurance?
2)Any inquiry going on as to why it took GF and their insurance company over a month to get Rad stretchered back to Bahrain for proper rehab and nursing?
3) Has the GF medical scheme now been upgraded to include Casevac flight expenses for crews to avoid a repeat in future of the extensive delays that Rad experianced?

GF should wake up here. I am leaving but if I was staying I would be buying insurance from an international provider to ensure my family was safe.

This is a wake up call for everyone because the policy GF currently has is all but useless.

But then that has been typical of GF hasn't it!!

I heard second hand shortly after Rad's passing, that BN stated that something must be done to make sure this never happens again; I have not heard anything further, either second or first hand.

Condolences to Roni

Very sorry to hear of Radstone's passing way, my sincere condolences to Roni, other family members and friends. Such a shame being so young and retirement to look forward to, shocking news.

can anyone help?

Hi

My family used to live in Bahrain in the late 70's/early 80's and knew Radstone Gammage. My dad was trying to find out what happened to him and I came across this forum when helping him to see that he had sadly died.

Is there a way of contacting Ronnie as my parents would like to pass on their condolences to her?

My parents are Brian and Helen Atkinson and they can be contacted via my e-mail on [email protected]

Thanks

Hi

I just joined this forum but am not very clever with computers so don't really know what i'm doing! I was trying to find out how to contact Roni Gammage for my parents who lost touch with her and Rad since knowing them when we lived in Bahrain. Can you help?

thanks
