It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Adrian Light .
This week we learnt that one of our dedicated, and active supporters, had lost his battle with cancer. Adrian Light had a strong bond with aviation going back to his childhood. Between 1972 and 1987 he was the Senior Duty Officer at Exeter Airport. Seeing passengers through on their holiday flights, to cargo flights and ramp dispatch management.
Adrian joined the UKHAT committee due to his love of aviation and a fondness for the Herald project. When UKHAT lost the Herald, Adrian didn't walk away, he was actively looking for the next project to keep civil aviation as well represented in the UK as warbirds are.
Adrian was also a lay minister in the Church of England. He loved photography, bird watching, the National Trust and almost anything aviation, particularly flying his flight simulator.
It goes without saying, Adrian was a large part of the UKHAT group and his departure to the blue skies has left a huge hole in the team.
We wish you Blue Skies and Peace Adrian.
from all at UKHAT.
