last saw tank about a decade ago, he knew he had served with me but a bit confused as to where, when, and I had a different name every time we spoke. Parkinson was taking its toll.He's not been well for some time, I'll be going down to say my goodbyes.
I didn't know him but RIP. Sorry for your loss.Sadly, I have to report the passing of a dear friend/
Al Doughty, ex Naval Aircraft Mechanic and aircrewman passed away in Southampton Hospital after suffering a massive heart attack. Al even managed a tour with the AAC and is mentioned in the book 'Scram' a Junglie perspective of the Falklands conflict in 1982.
Al went on to become a airline pilot and yachtsman after leaving the mob, taking part in the Fastnet Race. Folk around Wemouth may well know Al as he was Director of Dorset Yacht Charters.
Farewell and bon voyage my friend.
