Judy Merryweather : Cabin Crew / CSD
Sadly Judy passed away earlier this month, December 2023. My sincere condolences go out to her family, friends and former colleagues.

Judy joined Cabin Services in the early 70’s and flew across the aircraft fleets at LGW for BCAL and latterly BA before her retirement as a long haul CSD.

Having retired to her family home in Epsom she remained a  regular supporter of the annual Flight Deck / Cabin Crew reunion, Judy will be much missed by her airline friends.
