Further to my email a week or so ago I’m sorry to report that Alan passed away
this afternoon without regaining consciousness. We will miss him greatly.
Again please do not contact the family. They have enough to deal with.

Alan is truly one of the greatest pilots aussie airline pilots ever to come
to gliding and am proud to have introduced him to cross country soaring.
While at Bathurst recently had a real long talk to him and such knowledge.

Tom, sad news. Alan was indeed the epitome of a good bloke, and his quiet
good humour was a shining example to us all. He crewed on Dragonfly a

famil
Bloody hell Tom, he is too young!
Your message did not sound hopeful but let us hope anyway.

family have asked that we inform the gliding community. They have also asked
that their privacy be respected at this very difficult time
