So sorry to hear that. I only knew Paul briefly on 56(F) - I rented his house in Needham Market when he left to become a Hawk QFI. Such a nice chap - one of the very best!

Didn't he become an A1 QFI on the Hawk before moving to the Tornado ADV world?

RIP mate!

Sad to hear that Paul Brown has passed away and whilst not wishing to appear a smart-a**e, it may not be well-known to all yet, that there is a new Pprune section for recent bereavements called 'Departure Lounge'.
This enables sad news of recent deaths and funeral details to be published so that those who wish may attend.
By all means post details in this military section but the new section (under the Social sub-heading) makes quick and easy referral to those recently gone aloft.

Okay, point taken, I’ll copy it across. Brgds
