Eric ‘Cyril’ Rollings
Sadly I need to report the death on 4th December 2019 of Eric ‘Cyril’ Rollings.  Cyril was Peter Townsend’s personally chosen Armourer and serviced 43 Sqn Hurricanes at Tangmere and Acklington.  After leaving 43 Sqn, he was commissioned and became a Hurricane, then Dakota pilot, with most of his flying in the Far East.  He stayed closely in touch with the Association by email and letter, and died peacefully in his nursing home.
