I’m sorry to be the bearer of sad news but the BBC is reporting that Captain Eric Brown has died after a short illness. The BBC report unfortunately reported that Eric attended Fettes College which is not correct. Fraser Wright has contacted the BBC’s news desk to ask them to correct this error.
Best regards,
Alex.
..Error has now been corrected. Thanks to Fraser –
