Kev Rosie
It is with much sadness that I have to report the death in hospital in Oman yesterday of Kev Rosie. Although now a civilian, Kev was still very much part of the Fighter Control family, and I'm sure he was well known to the WIWOL fraternity after his time at StaxtonWold. Thoughts are with Ky and the children. One thing is for sure, there will be a hell of a ruckus upstairs! So Kev, God Speed and I'm sure there will be many glasses raised to you over the next few days.

Sincere Condolences
A very sad day.
I had the pleasure of learning a great deal from Kev and will look back at being able to share many a Q-shift with enormous pride for having known him too. My thoughts are also with the family and I shall lift a drink to the big fella tonight.

One of my closest friends and Godfather to my eldest daughter. A tremendous character, professional to the last and great company.
We partied from the Falklands to Kuala Lumpur to Penang to Oman to Oslo to Amsterdam and all over the UK.
He leaves behind a fantastic wife and 3 wonderful children.
I have raised more than a few tonight with a mutual friends. The hangover tomorrow will be worth it.
RIP mate.

I didn't serve with Kev, but his reputation went far and wide, as has already been mentioned. RIP and sincere condolences to his family.
May I also point PPRuNers to a similar thread at the RAF FCA website?

Just found out a few hours ago about Kev's passing.
Met him and his family in Markaz a couple of weeks ago and he was his usual jolly-self.
He will be sorely missed by everyone here in Oman.

Funeral Details
Kev's funeral is on 4 Feb at 3.45pm. Croydon Crematorium and afterwards at the Farleigh Court Golf Club.
All details on the FCA Website.
RSVP to Chris Benn.
Judging by early responses it will be one hell of a send off.

Very sad news - I worked with Kev in the 80's but since then, unfortunately, our paths never crossed again. I remember him, probably like everyone else who had the pleasure of knowing him, as a top bloke - RIP mate.
