Derrick Brooks - RIP
 

Just received the sad news that Derrick Brooks who for many years was the Secretary of the Sherwood Flying Club at Tollerton, Nottingham has passed away. He had been in hospital for heart surgery but unfortunately did not make it.

Derrick was an enthusiastic aviator who was known by many - we mourn his passing.

Sad at any time of the year but especially so today.:(

Condolences to his family and friends.

Hope his new wings suit him



Sir George Cayley
