Gywn "Taffy" Jenkins (BCal Engineering - Avionics Fitter)
It is with sadness we learn that Gywn passed away on 8th April 2020, aged 85, he succumbed to Pneumonia in East Surrey Hospital.  Sadly he lost his wife Mary, who had been ill, a few days beforehand.

My sincere condolences go out to his family, friends and former colleagues. Gywn joined BUA in 1967 and worked through into BCal, based in the maintenance hangars at Gatwick. Gwyn retired from BA in 1997.
