I am greatly saddened that Chris Jackson and Dick Jones have died. They are two of the extraordinary band of men that was Old Bristow. I am proud to have known them. My condolences to their families and friends.

I am saddened to hear that Paddy has died.
In 1965/6 Paddy looked after our SAR Whirlwind 7s on ARK ROYAL. He and Roy Headworth did such a good job that we became the first SAR flight to finish our commission with the same two aircraft that we started out with.
It was Paddy who bemused the rest of the flight deck when, one of our aircraft having failed to start, would lay about the cartridge starter with a hide-face mallet that he carried in his overall pocket for the purpose.
He was a diligent engineer, immensely likeable with a quiet understated humour. I was always happy to seek him out whenever I visited Aberdeen and Sumburgh.
