We are sad to announce that Brian Watt of 99 Entry (C Sqn) passed away on the 12th April at the age of 74 . Retiring as a Wing Commander he obtained a place at Cranfield School of Management and was awarded an MBA. For 25 years thereafter, he was responsible for supply chain and manufacturing operations in many different countries, with major projects in Europe, China and Poland. He joined Chubb Fire and Security as Operations Director and retired in 2009 following his first throat cancer.
