It is sad but some of the people we all loved at Air Anglia are no longer with us and without being  morbid this section is designed to honour them. Names many of us will all remember such as

Gerald Royale (Reservations Manager, Norwich)

Stephanie (nee) Burgess (Trainer Norwich)

Karen Fox (Trainer Stansted)

Andrew Schoenherr (Res supervisor Norwich)

Have sadly passed on but will never be forgotten

Not forgetting the orginal Wilbur Wright on 6th Novermber 2006

Here is a well worded obituary from the ECN next day

A "colourful entrepreneur" who helped pioneer Norwich airport and brought commercial aviation to East Anglia has died, aged 86.
Leslie Wright, nicknamed Wilbur by all those who knew him for his involvement in the aviation industry, died at his home in Blofield Heath on Monday after a lengthy illness.
Last night, professional colleagues and family paid tribute to the man who was known as the bon viveur of the aviation business.
Starting out as an engineer, Mr Wright set up Anglian Air, which operated charter flights out of Yarmouth, in the 1960s.
He then joined forces with pilot Jim Crampton to found Rig Air, which ferried North Sea oil workers to rigs from what was then Horsham St Faith airfield and is now Norwich International airport.
The pair was so successful they then ventured into the scheduled flight industry for businesses like Norwich Union, under the guise of Air Anglia, going to other UK airports as well as Amsterdam.
In 1978 they teamed up with British and Commonwealth Shipping to form Air UK, becoming managing directors before involving Dutch operator KLM and eventually buying out Air UK and setting up KLMUK.
He retired in the mid 1980s but still kept in touch with his former colleagues, regularly attending Air UK reunions.
Paul Thomas, who was marketing and PR manager of Air UK, said: "He was a very flamboyant person, very adventurous and 'hail fellow, well met'.
"He loved the media parties and would have loved to go out with acknowledgment for what he did, which was really to bring aviation and business opportunities to East Anglia and help the industry across the country. Along with Jim Crampton he really did pioneer the industry in this region."
Mr Wright was also a keen rugby player and charity fundraiser, having held the position of president of the Yarmouth Lions as well as Yarmouth and Lowestoft and Norwich rugby clubs.
He leaves behind his widow Joy who described him as a "kind and generous" man, two daughters and four grandchildren.
Daughter Barbara said: "He was a very colourful character with a really strong personality and very well loved within the firm. But he was also a family man and especially good with his grandchildren; he was great fun."

He was also the kindest and most human of men, and I am proud to have worked for him as a young sprog.
