Dave "Snoopy" Noon Argosy Pilot
Just received notice that Dave passed away suddenly a week ago last Friday.There is going to be a service on Wednesday 20th July, 11am at Grantham Crematorium, refreshments afterwards at The Queens Head, Kirkby La Thorpe. He nearly didn't apply to be a pilot as one of his masters at school told him he lacked the private income. He applied anyway. He was a co-pilot on Argosys at Benson on 267 Sqn 64-67, and I knew him when he was a captain, and then training captain, on 114 Sqn. In 1972 he left the Argosy force and went to Central Flying School at little Rissington and became a QFI on the JP. Subsequently he went off to the world of civil aviation.
I have also posted the info on the Ardet site.

Nice guy.
Last flew with Dave 12 June 1969. Gave me most of the flying.
RIP.
I didn't know his nickname was 'Snoopy'.
The only 'Snoopy' I knew was Geoff Baron - (Snoopy and The Red Baron)

I was a Herc Sim Console operator 79 to 81 and worked with Dave. I also had a few overseas trips with him including one where we broke at Dulles and stayed the night there instead of Andrews. He was a lovely man and a very good instructor. RIP Dave.
