Ian F Douglas It is with a sad heart I have to report the death of a good friend and Federation member Ian F Douglas on Wednesday 28th July after a long illness. Ian flew in the Aberdeen & District R P C and was the son of the great flying legend Freddy Douglas they flew as F Douglas & Son racking up a lot of National Honours in the Scottish National Flying club which they specialised in. I first met Ian as a 14yr old boy who used to help me set clocks in the Mastrick club Ian had been fighting cancer for a few years now and had two major operations. At the age of 51 it has come as a surprise to me and all concerned. Ian was instrumental in gaining a large sponsorship deal for the Federation when we were implementing the plan to build a new transporter for the Federation. Because of this we achieved the ultimate goal which I know all members were very grateful for. My sincere condolences to his wife Sarah daughter Georgia having been married previously his daughter Jade son Tony his mum Sheila and sisters Nora & Kathleen On behalf of the members of the Aberdeen Federation of Racing pigeons Rest in peace my friend President Ian McKay
