With regret I would like to report the death of my father, aviation historian Chaz Bowyer. He passed away peacefully yesterday (18th June) at the Norfolk and Norwich hospital aged 81, after a brief illness. His immediate family were all with him.
I am Chaz’s daughter and would like to thank all the well-wishers for their e-mails of condolence which are a great comfort to the family at this time. Dad lived and breathed aircraft and the brave airmen that flew them from a very young age and his interest and passion for the subject never diminished. I know he would have been touched at some of the tributes we have been sent.
If anybody would like to contact me please use my e-mail address at – [email]lisajhoare@hotmail.com[/email]
Please feel free to pass this information on to any forums you feel may be interested in Dads passing, I would like to let the wider Aviation community know.
Thanks – Lisa
