jasonb Posted 4 September, 2015 Share Posted 4 September, 2015 (edited) Whilst listening to the new Iron Maiden LP I was browsing the net which led to me discovering that Iron Maiden singer, Bruce Dickinson now flies the Fokker DR1 and is a member of the Great War Display Team. I knew he was into his flying and pilots commercial aircraft but didn't know about this hobby. One of the teams founder members was Doug Gregory who sadly passed away earlier this year. A great obituary from the Telegraph here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11568589/Doug-Gregory-pilot-obituary.html Born in Southampton and educated at Freemantle School no less... who later would turn to teaching at Noadswood School, Dibden Purlieu. I went to Applemore but wish I had gone to Noadswood now! Edited 4 September, 2015 by jasonb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
