We were heartbroken when Rob passed away on 4 April 2023 following a short battle with cancer, aged 42.

Rob joined Wiltshire Air Ambulance in 2016 after serving over 10 years in the British Army, flying Lynx helicopters in the Army Air Corps. He also spent a year in the North Sea flying to the oil rigs.

Rob loved working for the charity and the staff loved him. He was so passionate about our cause and understood the importance of being a team player.

Most of all, Rob enjoyed keeping the team fed with his famous South African braais (barbeques).
