RIP Mr Jack Thomas 

It is with regret that we have to inform you that VAS vice-president, Jack Thomas sadly passed away in his sleep on Saturday morning (September 5, 2020) at the age of 86 years. Jack had joined the VAS committee in 1994 and was to become its chairman in 1997; a position that he held until 2012 when he had to resign due to ill health.

He had been held in high regard by all members and at RAF Valley, where he was known by many as its mayor. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him, including many past Station Commanders.

RIP dear friend. You'll be missed by many!

Jack’s funeral will be at the Colwyn Bay Crematorium at 2.45 pm Monday 14th September 2020.

Please Note: With the COVID restrictions, attendance has had to be limited.

The Station Commander is attempting to provide a Hawk fly past in his memory at 2.40 pm.
