Spare a thought on the 12th.

Postby PhantomAviator » Mon Aug 09, 2010 2:38 pm

To those who who knew her.
Please spare a thought for Lynne Braithwaite BEM who gave so much to seeing our fair lady fly again.


May you Rest in Peace Lynne with the knowledge that you will always be remembered.

Lynne, born Lawrence James Braithwaite on July 1, 1934
Died August 12, 2008 aged 74.

Where else but in the Vulcan forum could be more appropriate.

Is it really 2 years! Lynne was someone I had great respect for.

I can't believe it's 2 years either.

RIP Lynne, your dream lives on.
