CAPTAIN PERRY BROWN
BASE - ABERDEEN / NEWCASTLE
TYPES FLOWN - HS 748
REMARKS: Hi,
I
bring you some details of me and Darryl Hecht, who was my best friend
in Dan-Air. We were both FOs on the HS748, based first at ABZ. I then
moved to NCL, and Darryl to LGW. Darryl was the first officer with Roger
Griffin when G-ASPL crashed at Nailstone on 26th June 1981. There’s a
good picture of Darryl on Tom Briffa’s page in which I feature as well,
when we were doing our 748 conversion course at Bournemouth Hurn. I
left the company in 1981 and went back into Engineering. I ended up my
career by doing applied Mathematics research for BAe Systems, Military
Aircraft Division. I did keep up my flying on a freelance part-time
basis, although I am retired now. I did all sorts of interesting flying
work. I suppose the best job I had was as a Beech King Air C90 captain
flying night freight for National Airways. I was also a captain on the
Embraer 110 Bandeirante, again on night freight.
