It was with great sadness that I reported the sad demise of Dave Murray only a few short days ago Dave was one half of the Cosford Sgts mess vintage pair. His long time buddy and other half of the vintage pair Ian Blythe has now very sadly joined him in a better place. Ian was a rarity in todays world a character and a jock who would happily buy you a beer expecting none in return. Grumpy when the mood took him as befits an old ex chief but with a willngness to help others if they needed it. Ian like Dave had fund of stories usually humerous and self depreciating. If I may give an example.
Ian's bad luck.
As a senior fairy chief (i.e. old) Ian suddenly had bad chest pains at work. So with some urgency the Med Center sent him to hospital for a check up on his ticker. So the standard green RAF land rover ambulance within Ian and duty medic inside sets off all noise, blues and twos the works. The driver rushes through a red light only to get T-boned by another vehicle at which point the land rover rolls pinning Ian underneath (Broken Pelvis was the result). The eventual hospital diagnosis on his ticker. Your tickers fine mate just leave the spicey food alone gives you bad indigestion at your age.
