ICARUS thanks for the news. I pray that Captain Gammage will benefit from a more familiar environment.

Simguy . Paypal works fine from this neck of the woods. I would not trust moneybookers.

We have a plan that hopefully will come to fruition soon internally within GF to allow dontations that will make thier way to Capt. & Mrs Gammage. As for external dontations, there are issues and contentions to overcome. It might be an idea to set up perhaps a 'fund raiser'. I notice that one or two British Club members have posted here, perhaps a highly inflated 'plate price' for a dinner at the club might be one line of attack? Perhaps thay might like to PM me and we work on this?

I will post this message again because I think it is worth a look.. why not try www.justgiving.com you can fund raise for your own thing on there ???

then maybe everybody can contribute.. I did post this originally at 3pm uk time but it's not been posted for some reason ??

I was only trying to help given the serious situation ?? everything is worth a try as far as I was concerned after reading the threads ?????????:hmm::hmm::hmm::hmm:

Wishing Capt. Gammage a speedy recovery now that he is back home!

As for the donation setting up - just saw on a different post here in PPruNe:

Maybe a page like that would help? I'm sure there are others like that out on the web as well!

Blue skies!

Welcome home
 

We are all glad Rad & Ronni are home. *Not surprised at the GF Spokesperson being unaware!! I would like to thank the GDN Publicly
for running the story and also making enquiries with Cyprus Airways, I wonder if that had anything to do with the flight changes, which were obviously beneficial. I have also discovered that it appears that Med Gulf are the insurers!! As per my sources!! If that is the case, I will ensure that I or my family, will never be covered by them!!
I am a member of the BC and will talk to some of our prominent members and see what we can do to raise some cash. I will kick off the donations with a small amount from my side. BD50.000. Hopefully this will assist in some small way. *Will speak with Chairman as well today.I know he is well aware.
GDN thanks for your assistance and follow up.

Like ExSimGuy I am neither GF staff nor a BC member anymore but would like to donate to the cause. Jim W can you help here? I can send you a draft or something.

Also agree with ExSimGuy with respect to Icarus' et al concise situation reports. Please keep them coming folks.:ok:

No Problem
 

Keith, no problem, my private email address is [email protected] drop me a note and we can get organized.
regards.

I am not sure if it still remains appropriate to continue to provide information on Capt Gammages condition publicly now that the saga of repatriation is over. I would need to consult Mrs Gammage first.

All I will say is that Rad was moved to ICU at BDF yesterday for isolation. I understand this is nothing untoward, simply that as he came in from a foreign country and the treatment was not so good, it makes medical sense. Also, all the sundry items Mrs Gammage had to provide in Cyprus have been ordered away for contamination reasons; clearly Rad is getting treated much better here. In ICU he will also have access to dialysis without having to be moved around between appropriate wards etc.

I will talk to the family to see what are the immediate non-covered needs so that we can all aim to provide funds to help out. Does it make sense to be running multiple strands to do this (GF, Brit Club, Others?) or should we at least get together to work out best plans for a cohesive and transparent single way forward?

Jim - thanks. Will be in touch shortly.

Icarus - you are right again of course. No public blow-by-blow reports needed now since the repatriation has successfully happened thank God - and anyway not appropriate as you rightly point out. Well done for those you did post though.

With regard to cenralising the fund raising effort I would suggest that Mrs Gammage be consulted along with any other efforts that are happening. I will await further information on this. In the interim I will liase with Jim W.

Has anyone been to see Rad at the BDF

Visiting in ICU is restricted. I guess once Capt Gammage resumes occupation outside of ICU then visitation at BDF is really quite open and you can turn up at any time generally. However, I am not sure what Mrs Gammage wants in terms of friends & acquaintances just turning up at the moment. Would you let me check and then I can place a 'guideline and wishes' on here for everyone?
Thanks.
