   All our colleagues are obviously important to us - our 'second family'.

   However, none more-so today than the passing of Derek at the age of 81 during last night.

   Many came to know 'Del' as one of the nicest and most caring people we could wish to meet - and especially in a work capacity.

   He was, of course, one of the crew members involved in the hijack and subsequent crew and passenger incarceration in Kuwait in October 1990 - the ramifications of which are still being felt today.

   There will doubtless be a veritable flood of comments and memories from you all following this sad news, so I'll leave you to it.
