Dear All
I have just received the following:
It is with great sadness that Hawkeye has been informed of the passing of Commander
Alexander Tremain Rogers BSC(Hons) AAC/RN (6 Feb 73 – Jan 23 following a
period of illness. Alex, as known as “Buck” served as an Army Commando with the
Royal Engineers from 1992 until 1997, with appointments in 131 Independent
Commando Squadron RE, 29 Commando Regiment RA and 40 Commando RM,
which took him to Cyprus for a UN tour in 1995 and into the Far East in 1997. He
commissioned into the Army Air Corps from RMAS in 1998 on course 973. On
completion of his Army Pilot Course and conversion to Gazelle in 2000 he went on to
join 9 Regt AAC at Dishforth with deployments to Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Bosnia
and Canada. Following a tour as ADC to CDS in 2004/05 he was promoted to Major
and then appointed as an SO2 Executive Officer for the Apache IPT in 2006/07. Buck
went on to serve with 847 Naval Air Squadron as a Lynx pilot in 2008 and subsequently
transferred to the RN. There then followed a number of interesting roles and
deployments in the UK, Norway, and Afghanistan. During that period he also served
as OC 663 Squadron AAC He was promoted to Commander in 2017 and attended

Our thoughts are with his family and his many friends and comrades who he served
with over a varied and interesting career, during which he received deserving respect
and admiration for what he achieved.
