Sylvia and Derek Bartlett
This site is dedicated to the memory of my parents,
Sylvia & Derek Bartlett.
My father died just before Christmas 1998.
He was ex-RAF personnel, and introduced me to a love of aviation, by taking me
to numerous airshows at Rochester and West Malling.
My mother died suddenly, and unexpectedly, in August 2002.
Mum gave up many opportunities to ensure she had time for me.
For that I am forever in her debt.
It's lonely here without you,
I miss you more each day,
For life is not the same for me,
Since you were called away.
I miss both of them dearly.
Dave Homer
Many of the photos used on this site, and to illustrate my talks, have been kindlly donated by
Phil Homer in memory of his late father, and keen aviation photographer, Dave.
Dave had a love of aircraft and took thousands of photos which he carefully catalogued and archived.
The Homer family have generously allowed me to use some of Dave's excellent photographs, ensuring his passion for aviation lives on.
Thank you.
