My sincere condolences to Jan and family. Our careers criss-crossed many times with finally Alan taking over from me in Passenger Services. A really good colleague and friend, greatly missed. R I P Alan
From Trevor Boud
I remember Alan well for the help he gave me in those early days when as a director I took my turn to cover every arrival and departure over a weekend to assist with problems as they occurred, and they did, and what to do about the delays, pax, hotels, etc - without him perhaps chaos. I was very happy to see him marry our lovely hostess Jan. My condolences to Jan and the family.
