That is very sad news. We served together on Pumas back in the old days and at Shawbury, a little more recently but still a way back.
I am really sorry to hear that he has lost his final battle and my thoughts and condolencies go out to Sheila and the familty. RIP Phil.

That is such a dreadful shame, Phil was a really lovely instructor to learn from, and I enjoyed learning from him at DHFS very much. This has been a sad week for the SH Force. RIP.

Sad news, condolences to the family. Worked together on Gazelle at Shawbury but unfortunately never with him whilst on the Puma force, however, his reputation on type was well known. Safe journey to the stars.
Had the honour of flying with Pyn many times. He was the Flt Cdr on 240Sqn when I completed the OCU. Flew with him again on 230 in NI. Clearly a very talented pilot he was always totally relaxed and certainly brought the best out of me.
RIP Phil.

Another top bloke gone. 
Worked and socialised with him in a number of places - he was good at both!
Condolences to Sheila and the family and loved ones.
RIP mate.

I first flew with Phil during Op Agila in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe in 1979, where he had some heritage, and we visited a grave of one of his family together. He was a lovely man and a fine pilot who will be sorely missed by all who knew him. My condolences to Sheila and family.

Sirs, Ladies and Gents
The funeral for Sqn Ldr (Retired) Phil Pynegar AFC will take place at 1400 on Wed 18 Dec at All Saints Church, Didcot, followed by a Wake in the Officers’ Mess at RAF Benson (provisionally 1530-2000).
The family have put out an open invite to the church ceremony and subsequent Wake in the Mess to all those who knew Phil and we have been encouraged to attend in uniform (No1s with medals – no black armbands).
Please PM me if you wish to attend so that we can let the family know rough numbers (unfortunately MT is not currently able to provide transport to/form Didcot).
