Gordon Thain, 1955-59
Mike Glue reports that Gordon Thain sadly passed away yesterday after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. He joined us in the third form from Ilford County High School when he moved down to Bognor to live with his father. He emigrated to New Zealand in the 197O’s, living in Wellington and working in banking. We were best man to each other when we both got married in the 1960’s. Gordon is survived by his third wife Gael and his brother who lives in Australia.
Gordon Thain and me at Duxford in 1995 on his only visit to the UK after emigrating to New Zealand in the 1970’s.
