Sadly Dr Robert Pleming passed away yesterday at home.
Whatever peoples opinions are of how things ended up or how they were run, I can with hand on heart say that I know of no-one who could have achieved what Robert did. It was down to his tenacity and sheer stubbornness that 558 flew again.
Condolences to his wife.
RIP Dr Bob.
