Title: Death of Member
Post by: gadwall58 on November 21, 2018, 01:37:22 PM

Tom Drake (Viking9) passed away peacefully on 23 October 2018 a short time after his 80th birthday in the Down Hospital in Downpatrick. Tom had moved from Bury St Edmonds to Newcastle, Co Down, in 2011 and had enjoyed the last few years of retirement making new friends and enjoying life to the full.

Best wishes, Steve Donaldson.

Really am gutted at this news. Met Tom a few years ago and in the hour or two we spoke he just oozed passion for aviation.
Rest In Peace Tom.
