From Jim Williams: R.I.P. Bernie keep flying high.
Christina Selmes: RIP Captain Bernie Sedgwick

Roger Brown: He was a lovely chap. RIP

From Lyndsey Walker nee Robinson
A memorable flight to either Glasgow or Edinburgh from LGW back in April ’74 when we broke all records for flight time. The full Lunch service was whisked away from Passenger's laps and food was all over the place in the galley on landing. Something like 50mins choc to choc. Bernie was a F/O at the time, and I remember opening the flight deck door to him looking back at me raising his hands up in the air when the 3 bell warning was pressed, as if to say “sorry, nothing we could do about it‘! Passengers were amazing with their compliments thankfully when they got off ! Fly High Bernie; RIP

Bernard, 3rd from left, in the lighter grey coveralls.
He was part of the BCal contingent flying in the 1976 Strathallan Air Show in Perthshire. Some 26,000 people attended and watched the flying display.
This was just a year after the Lancaster flight from Canada, crewed by other BCal staff, but the co-operation between Strathallan and BCal continued.
