John Clingo Airframe Fitter & Engineer
Sadly John passed away on 6th June 2019 after a long battle with lung cancer. John was diagnosed some years back, but he had fought it stubbornly and with determination.
My sincere condolences go to his family, friends and former colleagues.

Service details
John's servce was held on Tuesday 25th June at Weston-super-Mare Crematorium
There was a gathering afterwards to remember John at The Helicopter Museum, where he worked as an airframe fitter, so a very fitting place to celebrate his life. The family extended a warm welcome to John's colleagues to join them at his service and afterwards too.
Please, any donations in John's memory to The Helicopter Museum - thank you
