David Patterson
It is with much sadness that I report on the death of David Patterson, a very active member of the club and someone who will be missed by a great many people. Dave was the kind of man that would always have a smile and be ready to exchange friendly banter with his flying mates. His willingness to give his time so freely to the club, both in practical help with the running of the strip and in assisting other members is well remembered. Dave was always a very enthusiastic contributor especially so whenever there was the prospect of ‘engineering’ works taking place and as such, we have him to thank for many innovations in our club facilities. We all have very fond memories of our days spent flying with this great character and I for one consider myself privileaged to have called him a friend.
God bless youDavid.
