Brian Brown
Brian Brown
was tragically killed , in a accident at Shoreham Airshow 2007.
His death was felt throughout the flying display community, of which
Brian was a well liked and professional pilot. It left a terrible void within the lives of his flying
colleagues, and the memory of his expert display flying and his
likeable character is greatly missed.
The airshow committee, commemorated his life by unveiling a plaque to his memory at Shoreham Airshow 2008.
I knew Brian as a display pilot over many years and remember well when he, with his business partner Tony Smith, flew the black Hurricane and pink Spitfire at the Shoreham Airshow some years ago. Although based in Yorkshire they were always very keen in coming to our RAFA show and felt it was a worthwhile cause to be involved in.
May his memory live on.

Honorary Air Show Organiser
