Master Pilot David (Jock) Morton.

My Father , former Master Pilot and SOAF Pilot David Morton died in Ashburton, Devon, and his funeral was yesterday in Torquay. He was almost 93 and had been suffering the effects of Alzheimers for the last few years. Before that a very full and happy life and that was reflected at his funeral.
