Glyn Lewis Attended Rons funeral as AAC SM with then Regtl Col Thirsby. If I rembember correctly it was in the Bristol area. Good military send off for one of the old school RQMS’s.

Angus Saunders Thanks everyone.A few pictures of Ron came up on the Army Aviation website and no one mentioned anything of his passing and you think no news must be good news and then he suddenly appears on the AAC Roll of Honour.
