Rod was a lovely guy.

I first met him when he was doing tours of the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar, when I worked there. 

Later on, he was so kind to give my mum, my son and myself, a personal look around the Concorde at Brooklands. She’s always loved that aeroplane so for her it was a real treat. Rod was very patient and generous with his time. My mum asked a lot of questions!

Fly safe Rod. And thanks for the coffee mate.
