It was with great sadness that the GAAC heard of David’s passing.
Representing The Honourable Company of Air Pilots (HCAP) on the GAAC Board for many years, his knowledge, enduring enthusiasm and humour ensured his contributions were much valued.
Declining health led him to stand down early in 2023.
Aviation has lost a great friend. RIP David.
